Out Games: Kiwi tally at 45 on final day

Sun 6 Aug 2006 In: New Zealand Daily News

Kiwi athletes notched up a further 12 medals on the final day of competition at the World's 1st Out Games in Montreal, bringing the total tally to an impressive 45. Wellington swimmers Eve Tregerthan and Karen Moses added to their haul, with Moses winning 3 silver medals (in the 50, 100 and 200m breaststroke) and Tregerthan taking home 2 silvers (50 and 200m freestyle). Also in the pool, Aucklander Berend Westra won double gold in 50m backstroke and 50m freestyle. In triathlon Jan Nisbet and Sally Heppenstall, both of Wellington, won gold and silver respectively, and David Brocharie of Sydney (ex-Christchurch) took out bronze in the sprint triathlon. In the half marathon, Nigel Jeffcoat of Wellington won silver and Michael Small of Auckland won bronze. And, just at hand, Richard Ryan and Mark Hangartner added a further two medals - a bronze and a gold in the bridge competition held earlier in the week. The latest medal haul caps of a successful competition for the 60+-strong New Zealand team, many of who also competed at the 7th Gay Games in Chicago, which closed on July 22. The 2nd Out Games will be staged in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 2009, while the 8th Gay Games will be held in Cologne, Germany, in 2010.     Ref: GayNZ.com (d)
