Oh and Valerie Villi in shot put did alright.

New Zealand got some medals, but as someone mentioned, it's waning.

Answer 5

nope

Answer 6

New Zealand traditionally do well in Rowing and still water kayak and also in Cycling.  For a country of its size they do very well but with such a small population base they can't be expected to be strong across a wide range of sports.
