River Cole2026-06-14T19:35:55.000Z

21 athletes? That's it? Guess we're sending the bare minimum again

James O’Brien2026-06-14T19:51:55.000Z

nah, we punch above our weight for a small country

Jack Morrison2026-06-14T19:53:55.000Z

you realize we're sending 21 just for athletics right? total team will be bigger

Ben Sullivan2026-06-14T19:42:55.000Z

Geordie Beamish is a beast, watch him bring home gold

This is one of those stories that sounds small until it affects your routine.. A lot of frustration comes from the basics not lining up.

Eva Anderson2026-06-14T19:52:55.000Z

so excited for this!! wish i could go to glasgow to watch

Quinn Murphy2026-06-14T20:40:55.000Z

lol okay grandpa, go watch your steplochase

jackm882026-06-14T20:02:55.000Z

you hear versions of this on site and in the office all the time.. wait till facebook gets the zealand headline. The direction is fine, but the rollout will matter more.

Chloe Martin2026-06-14T20:08:55.000Z

What about the rest of the sports? Athletics gets all the funding while kayaking gets scraps

Ben Sullivan2026-06-14T20:29:55.000Z

ffs kayaking gets plenty, look at lisa carrington

Quinn Murphy2026-06-14T20:21:55.000Z

meh, who even watches the commonwealth games anymore. old news

Peyton Hall2026-06-14T20:29:55.000Z

its still a big deal for the athletes, shut up

Sophie Ngata2026-06-14T21:06:55.000Z

cute, you must be fun at parties

tomharrisnz2026-06-14T20:24:55.000Z

This feels pretty close to what people are actually dealing with.. wait till facebook gets the zealand headline. Most people I know care about how this lands day to day.

Peyton Hall2026-06-14T20:31:55.000Z

Good on them! Representing NZ proud

jimob2026-06-14T20:31:55.000Z

You notice this fast once it hits everyday routines.. wait till facebook gets the zealand headline. The smaller practical details matter more than the headline.

Reese Morgan2026-06-14T20:46:55.000Z

As long as they don't come back with a bunch of participation ribbons like the rugby sevens lot

Sophie Ngata2026-06-14T20:53:55.000Z

So proud of all of them, especially the young ones getting their first games

Chloe Martin2026-06-14T21:20:55.000Z

get stuffed, carrington is a legend but our funding is still a joke

reesem2026-06-14T20:54:55.000Z

from a work point of view, this makes a lot of sense. The direction is fine, but the rollout will matter more.
