Uplifting viewing

Don’t we need it? After months/years of Covid, extreme weather events and now many days of this wet weather. An uplift of the Commonwealth Games and seeing athletes from around the Commonwealth doing their best stuff, especially our Kiwis. Watching athletes in their different sports achieving at such a high standard, and New Zealanders achieving so many medals and seeing others achieve their personal bests. But even more, these games allow our young people to see these athletes achieve their dreams, which would not come without hard personal effort. I hope these games allow all of us to see them as a means by which Kiwis can achieve their own goals and dreams.
