Lisa Carrington has lead the Olympic team in New Zealand's history into Maracana Stadium for the closing ceremony at the Rio Games. The Kayaker was chosen for the honour after she became the first New Zealand female athlete to win two medals gold and bronze at a single Olympic games. We won 18 medals four of them are gold and are set to finish 19th on the medal table. The New Zealand team was 199 strong, making it the largest Olympic team we have sent to a Games. 
Last week on Friday we had our first ever Mini Olympics. We had a opening ceremony by sinning the Olympic Anthem and we also sang the National Anthem New Zealand for the closing of the Olympic Anthem. 
Shot put super star Valarie Adams has won a silver medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Michelle Carter from USA won the final with a 20.63m throw which was too good for Adams. Anita Morton from Hungary finished third. Carter throw away the competition with her final throw. Adams throw was further than her throw in London 2012. In Rio the throws were shorter.
