The youngest athlete is 18-year-old footballer Milly Clegg, and the oldest is 45-year-old equestrian athlete Tim Price. New Zealand will compete in a record 23 sports, making its debut in kiteboarding and speed climbing.
Auckland has the most athletes, with 58 team members. Canterbury follows with 24, Wellington has 18, Waikato 17, and Bay of Plenty 14. The team members come from various cultural backgrounds, including Samoan, Tongan, French, Australian, and more.

5 people that died from an implode seems sad, but it could be worse. they were lucky it was quick or they might of sufficated to death. but I will point it out, they did know it wasn’t tested and they knew it was a dangerous decision.
My friend was updating me on it last night and it turns out, they imploded. Rest in pieces. I meant rest in peace.
