New Zealand is going GOLD

New Zealand has won its sixth gold medal of the Olympics after Valerie Adams' rival Nadzeya Ostapchuk tested positive for drugs and was stripped of gold. So that means Valerie Adams has won New Zealand another GOLD MEDAL and puts New Zealand in 6th place isn’t that awesome?

Today we’re still coming sixth place. The country coming 1st is United States of America, China is coming 2nd, Great Britain is coming 3rd, The Russian Federation is coming 4th, South Korea is coming 5th, and New Zealand is coming 6th. At least were coming some place and not last so yeah thank you Valerie Adams you rock for putting New Zealand is 6th place!!!

When Kiwi shot-put champion Valerie Adams won the gold medal at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, she looked skyward in memory of her mother, Lilika, who had died when she was a teenager. By that stage, the six-foot-four (1.93m) Rotorua-born Adams was already a veteran New Zealand athlete and ranked second in the world.

Valerie Adams would go on to become the reigning Olympic, World and Commonwealth shot-put champions, and New Zealand’s foremost sportsperson - winning gold at the 2006 and 2010 Commonwealth Games, 2008 Beijing Olympics (the country’s second gold in track and field since 1976), scoring an unbeaten 25 consecutive victories at the IAAF World Championships and breaking a slew of world records.
