The stronger winds were difficult for 15-year-old Coral Headey.

In day four of competition at Nanjing, China, the young Kiwi sailors caught the wind and used it to place a bid for the medal races, the 50-metre backstroke swimmers qualified through to the final and the men's basketball team took two from two in their pool games.

The windsurfers were out on the water again after a day's delay due to no wind. The stronger winds were difficult for Coral Headey, 15, from Otumoetai College to navigate and she was unable to move up in to the top 10 overall positions, finishing with two 18th placings and one 12th.

Amy Robinson and the women's hockey team played crowd favourite and top of the table China in pool rounds, falling 8-3 to the local team. An entourage of family and supporters showed up at the turf to counter the chants of China with the cheers for the Kiwi girls. The team came out strong in the first third, scoring two goals before the Chinese were on the scoreboard.

The Kiwi girls are now third on the points table with China and Uruguay ahead of them
