A Big Welcome Home

tomorrow morning to all our Olympians. Haven't they all been absolutely fantastic. Just by making to the biggest sporting stage in the world, they have achieved far more than most of us can comprehend. Some of them sound as if they feel they let us down because they didn't achieve their own high standards. I say NO - you most certainly did not. You are all a success, achievers and winners.
And a special welcome home to our Rodney Olympians
Jo Aleh (Laser Mistral)
Barbara Kendall (Board Sailor)
Mark Herring, Corney Swanepoel and Melissa Ingram (Swimming)
Ian Hogg and Shaun Van Rooyen (OlyWhites football team)
Kristy Hall (Football Ferns)
James Dolphin (Sprinter)
Erin Taylor (Kayaker)
David Kosoof and Blair Hopping (Black Sticks hockey team)
For their time, effort, sacrifices and dreams, we thank them all. Pat yourself on the back for the journey you have just been on and continue to dream big.
