Adam Hall wins Gold for New Zealand

A fabulous day for NZ! I didn’t get to see the races today as I was shooting an award ceremony, but my sister Kristine emailed me the big news as soon as she heard.

I did get to see the medal ceremony in the evening though. There was a good number of kiwis in the crowd, including this one.

Here’s Adam’s family and friends.

Yay Adam!

Here’s Adam, receiving his medal (GOLD!) from Ann Cody, IPC Governing Board Member.

I have to say, I found Adam’s medal ceremony very moving (I cried) and I felt very proud of him and very proud to be a Kiwi. Congratulations Adam!

    Can imagine how you felt shooting Adam Hall and the emotions you must have felt. Felt all teary eyed just watching the news on TV so can’t imagine what it was like actually being there.
