After a grueling week of near hits and big misses for New Zealand at the Beijing Olympics, New Zealand athletes finally win big, adding another bronze overnight last night to the Olympic Medals Tally.

Kiwis won 5 medals (2 gold, 1 silver and 2 bronze) within just hours of each other on Saturday night, and our men’s cycling pursuit team came away with bronze in the early hours of this morning.

What’s next for NZ at the Olympics? Sarah Walker, the current world number one BMX athlete competes tomorrow (Wednesday Aug 20) from 1pm. Walker has been picked for gold from day one, and finally gets her chance to make her country proud with just five competing days to go for the 2008 Games.
