Talk:New Zealand at the 2008 Summer Olympics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You could write a lot more than just a simple listing of athletes, such as the controversy surrounding the selection by NZ Athletics (widely covered in the newspapers and legal action is being taken). Is the kind of thing I'd like to get on to writing, I'll put this page on my watch list. Mathmo ^Talk 04:48, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

I agree. I don't particularly want to get involved with the NZL national selection issues, but it would be nice to note (as an example) that the women's basketball team has satisfied FIBA's qualification requirements with its second-place finish at the FIBA Oceania Championship for Women 2007. -- Jonel (Speak to me) 18:55, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

I wonder if it would be worth it. Once the Games are over most of the controversy will be forgotten about. Non-selection has been an issue for 20 years and I for one would be happy to stick the literary knife into the NZOC selectors, BUT...unless the same issues have been covered with regard to previous Games should it really be included here?DerbyCountyinNZ (talk) 04:03, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
