Weigh to go, David!
A weightlifting demo from newly-announced Kiwi Olympic hopeful David Liti was the main attraction for residents at Logan Campbell Village on Tuesday.
The popular athlete, who will compete in the men’s 102+kg division, was revealed as the latest member of the NZ team who will be attending the Paris Olympics to gathered media and a packed village centre, where he thrilled the crowd with his impressive lifting skills.
David demonstrated three ‘clean and jerk’ lifts, going up to 140kg on the third. While it prompted gasps from the residents, his lift at Tokyo in comparison was 236kg and then 178kg in the ‘snatch’, which is the lift from floor to over the head.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
