The irony was intended, Voltman.

Going by the logic in your post, we should only see the gold medalists at the Olympics receive press coverage, for they are the cream of the crop. Everything else is irrelevant, whether it be gold at the Paralympics or at a world athletics meet. C'mon, even you must be able to see where I'm coming from in the fact I would have liked to see more coverage for a New Zealand athlete that won a gold medal, regardless of the fact that she has a disability.

FWIW, point taken about the TVNZ coverage, there is a fair possibility that TV3 may not have had access to any sort of video footage.
