Team New Zealand make the right call on Burling What a refreshing response from Team New Zealand to turn down Yachting New Zealand's request to nominate helmsman Peter Burling as sportsman of the year for the next Halberg Awards. Their justification? They did not want any individual elevated above other members of the syndicate which won the America's Cup in Bermuda during June, returning the Auld Mug to New Zealand for the first time in 14 years. They want to win the team of the year — and presumably the supreme award — if they are a finalist. "The America's Cup was a team effort that included 90 different individuals. Some you'll never hear of, but a lot of them are very skilled and were key to the success of that campaign," chief operating officer Kevin Shoebridge told Radio Sport. Source Link |
