25 March - Gold to Nick Willis in the 1500, with a mod to his normal tactics which saw him lead the pace out from the first lap. His characteristic break at the bell with the finishing drive from 150 out saw him finish in 3:38.49, metres ahead of the second placegetter. Impressive run from Paul Hamblyn who was pipped for 3rd just before the line, finishing 4th in 3:39.38, with Adrian Blincoe in 10th place with 3:44.88. In the men's Javelin, Stuart Farquhar thre 77.40 for 7th place, while pole vaulter Melina Hamilton cleared 4.15m for equal 8th. Disaster in the 4x100m relay, with NZ recording a DNF after the 3rd change (Dolphin to Donaldson) failed to connect. Final result for NZ was Michael Aish's 7th place in the 10,000 with a time of 29:05.55.
24 March - Silver medal for Tony Sargisson in the 50km walk, made sweeter by the achievement of a PB and a victory over long standing top dog in NZ Craig Barret. Tony walked 3:58:05 and Craig made 4th place with 4:02:27. The women's long jump was a close competition which wound up with Chantal Brunner 4th based on her 4th jump of 6.56m. Elsewhere the men's 4x100m relay team progressed to the final with a win in their heat. Nick Willis, Paul Hamblyn and Adrian Blincoe all progressed to the final of the men's 1500m. Nick nearly came a cropper when an English runner stepped on his foot in the home straight, but he was able to recover enough to finish first across the line.
23 March - Bronze medal for high jumper Angela McKee who cleared 1.83m, while Melina Hamilton cleared 4.0m and made top 12 in the Pole Vault preliminaries, to qualify for the final. In the final of the men's 800m Jason Stewart finished 5th with 1:47.72. James Dolphin qualified for the final of the 200m by finishing 3rd in his semi, in a very close finish which saw him burgle a place from Jamaican favourite Chris Williams. In the final he finished 8th from 8 with a time of 20.72.
22 March - Valerie Vili won gold in the Shot with a Games Record of 19.66m on her second throw. Kate McIlroy ran a PB and set a new NZ record in the 3k Steeplechase, finishing 5th in the straight final. In the heptathlon, Rebecca Wardell finished 7th, and Sarah Cowley 11th. Rebecca set 3 event PBs, including a win in the javelin event, while Sarah set a PB in the 100mH but missed out in the javelin with a no-mark. In the men's 200m, James Dolphin qualified for the semis by finishing second in his heat, and likewise finished second in his quarter final heat, and will go on to the Semis. Jason Stewart qualified for the 800m final after finishing 3rd in his semi. In the women's long jump Chantal Brunner qualified for the finals by finishing 4th in her group with a jump of 6.33m.
21 March - Beatrice Faumuina has finished 4th in the discus, with a throw of 59.12. Also 4th place for Brent Newdick in the Decathlon - he made 4 PBs in separate events to contribute to his total of 7566 points over the 2 days of competition. At the end of day 1 in the heptathlon, Rebecca Wardell is in 8th place of the 12 competitors, with 3353 points, while Sarah Cowley is in 11th spot with 3205.
20 March - Brent Newdick has been busy with day 1 of the Decathlon, including a PB in the 100m and another in the High Jump. He finished the day in 5th place - more detail results are listed below. Jane Arnott finished 4th in her 400m semi and was unable to progress to the final.
19 March - First New Zealanders in competition at the games were Rebecca Moore and Liza Hunter Galvan, competing in the maraton. After running 1:17:58 for 14th place at half way, Liza pulled out after 30km. Rebecca finished 18th place with 3:03:35. On the track, Jane Arnott progressed to the 400m semis after finishing 3rd in her heat with 52.82s.
18 March - The competition schedule has been updated (new times are shown below). Significant for New Zealand is that heats or qualifying rounds have been dropped for the women's steeplechase, women's high jump, men's 800m, women's shot and the women's discus. Also the steeplechase final has been moved so that Kate McIlroy & Rebecca Furlong will now get their first run on Wednesday night.
13 March - Fiona Crombie has officially withdrawn from the NZ team, after a fitness trial 3000m race in Bendigo, Victoria. Official reason is an unspecified foot injury, tho' Fiona was quoted in the press that her foot was fine, but she experienced problems with the heat.
23 February - Kimberley Smith has officially withdrawn from the NZ team, following her injury at the recent NZ Championships when she pulled up apparently with an achilles injury.
