He brought with him two special guest speakers from the New Zealand sporting world: stopping off on their way to the Glasgow Commonwealth games, the chief executives of Sport New Zealand (Sport NZ) and High Performance Sport New Zealand (HPSNZ), Peter Miskimmin and Alex Baumann joining the breakfast to bring news of some of the innovation coming out of ‘GoldMine’, a technology project focused on giving Kiwi athletes a winning edge. They also outlined ‘BlackGold’ – a new philanthropic collaboration between their two organisations and the NZOC.
