Winter Olympics

South Korea's good fortune in securing the 2018 Winter Olympics is also good news for Queenstown and the Otago region, says New Zealand Winter Games chief executive Arthur Klap.

The Sochi Winter Olympics is the goal for Ariel Nadas and Grant Howie, who have been partners in the ice skating pairs for the past 12 months.

The US national ski race team has arrived in Queenstown and is now training at Coronet Peak.

Gold medal-winning Paralympian Adam Hall will head a street parade in Wanaka this weekend welcoming back the resort's Winter Olympic representatives.

A complaint over TV news footage showing the death of a Georgian luger at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver has not been upheld.

Gayle Hall has been at her son's side cheering him on all his life but she has never yelled as loud as she did yesterday.

The family of the Georgian luger who died in a training crash on the Olympic track hours before the Vancouver Games formally opened last month will receive an undisclosed insurance settlement.

Queenstown's Taylor Rapley had two podium finishes in the United States at the weekend, finishing second in the slalom and third in the GS at FIS races in Eldora, Colorado.

For those who know Adam Hall best it came as no surprise the courageous skier rebounded from a fall to win gold in the men's standing slalom at the Winter Paralympics in Vancouver yesterday.

An incredible experience was how New Zealand 2010 Winter Paralympic Games athlete, Peter Williams described his first event in Vancouver.
