Going for gold in grandmother's Olympic swimming wake TIM O'CONNELLBRADEN FASTIER / STUFFNew Zealand's oldest living Olympian Ngaire Galloway with her granddaughter Gina Galloway, who is heading to the Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires in October. At 93, Ngaire Galloway keeps a scrapbook full of memories and a table full of medals as a reminder of a stellar swimming career. This year, her grand-daughter Gina Galloway is one of four swimmers representing New Zealand at the Buenos Aires 2018 Youth Olympic Games in October. Ngaire said while technology, training techniques and travel times had changed, the notion of hard work still paid off in the pool. It is no coincidence that Galloway is a backstroke specialist, with Galloway senior competing in the women's 100m backstroke at the 1948 London Olympic Games.
