Mexico World Cup WIN!! Gemmell
Off the bat I want to say congrads to Sam Warriner. She won the last round of the world cup series today and thus also gained the number one ranking for the year. So hats off to her.

Building up to the final race this year - Sam
Well it’s now just ten days out from The Mexico World Cup, the final counting event of 2008!!!

Two more weeks of racing and 2008 is in the bag, Well for me anyway!

Beijing Olympic Race - Bevan
Well, what can I say? It’s been a very long campaign, with so many highs and lows. It was one big emotional rollercoaster, with so many sacrifices and tough days. Sometimes you wondered whether it was all worth it, but as soon as I crossed that finish line, I remembered that I was in this...
Hi from the UK - Sam
I made the most of being at the Olympics once my race was over, it was
awesome. I went to see so many events and watched the other New Zealanders
compete. It was a lot of fun but also hard. On the outside I was happy
and cheering but on the inside I was hurting. The Olympics are the...
