NZ At The 2010 Commonwealth Games: Day 4

Team Celebrate Medal Success

The New Zealand team gathered at "Base Camp" in their Delhi residence tonight to celebrate the success of the team's medal winners tonight.

The Red Beach Grandstand, beanbags and fake grass floor of the team lounge were packed tightly with wrestlers, gymnasts, boxers and the newly arrived sevens team.

Slightly reminiscent of students in their flat (but clean, with no beer), the team members clapped, laughed and ate cups of popcorn to celebrate the success of the xx swimmers, cyclists and Jess Hamill who won silver in the F34 shotput last night. More>>
