@LuukaJones - Episode 135 - She has chickens and a silver fern. She was named after Audrey Hepburn's son. She promised Alison she wouldn't drown if she tried slalom canoe. https://t.co/RBEwtFwrCA

My friend, the Hon. Peeni Henare, has used a phrase recently in Te Reo Māori, New Zealand’s indigenous language. Noho Tawhiti (sit at a distance) Tū Kotahi (stand as one) And once again, Te Reo has proved itself perfect for our, and any, time.

Luuka Jones joins an elite club of Kiwi women when she paddles at her 4th Olympics in Tokyo. Right next to the Rio silver medallist will be her coach & partner, Campbell Walsh; an interesting dynamic that's really working. @LuukaJones @legslip1 @nzolympics

Any time Olympian Luuka Jones needs advice or encouragement in her pursuit of more canoe slalom success, she doesn’t have to look far. Jones’ coach, Campbell Walsh, is also her partner.

My thoughts on the historic moment Iranian women were allowed to watch a #football match. It was a step forward, but a tiny one, with tickets limited and women segregated. Pressure on #Iran must be kept up to ensure progress continues. #FIFA @MinkysHighjinks @openStadiums
Latest blog by @Nancy_Gillen: Pressure on #Iran cannot subside - women must be able to attend all #football matches

Maybe I could run 1 x 100m at 17.01 seconds... as a max effort....
I present to you Eliud Kipchoge - the first athlete to run a marathon in under two hours. 🏃 He did it in 1:59:40.2. Thats the equivalent of running 100m in 17.01 seconds - 422 times in a row. #Kipchoge159

Excellent World Champs at the end of an historic season for NZL slalom. Topped off with more history for @LuukaJones 3rd in K1W 🥉 & 9th in C1W, Jack Dangen semifinal K1M, and Tokyo quota spots in 3 classes. Big hand to the team and all support back home 👏👊🇳🇿 #ICFslalom
