Do you know how great our Olympics team is doing? At the moment New Zealand have 3 gold and 4 bronze but no silver yet. Last week when we looked at the medal table New Zealand were 37th and now they are 14th. Our New Zealand Olympic team won gold in rowing and won bronze in the Equestrian. I am proud to be a New Zealander.
