  1. Hi Mia,

    No, I didn't know that Lisa Carrington was the New Zealand Maori Sportsperson of the year in 2013. That is a huge honour! I think that she is quite a special athlete. I'm really looking forward to cheering her on when she enters the water in Rio!

    As an aside, when we post information that we've found online it's really important that we tell people where we found it. You can do this by inserting brackets () with the name of the source and the date that we found it. For example:
