How the Kiwis fared in Sydney

By TERRY MADDAFORD

Alongside the medals won by Rob Waddell (gold) and Aaron McIntosh, Barbara Kendall and Mark Todd (bronze), there were 16 other top 10 finishes for New Zealanders at the Sydney Olympics.

Backing the third-places by Kendall and McIntosh, spearheading the yachting efforts, were a fifth placing for Rod Davis and his Soling crew, a fifth for Chris Dickson and Glen Sowry in the Tornado and a seventh for Simon Cooke and Peter Nicholas in the 470.

Sarah Ulmer finished fourth in cycling's 3000m individual pursuit and eighth in the points race.

Debutante weightlifter Olivia Baker finished a creditable eighth.

In Atlanta in 1996, New Zealand won three gold medals, two silver and a bronze. In Barcelona four years earlier, they won one gold, four silver and five bronze medals.
