RSM heartily congratulates audit client Paralympics New Zealand and the entire New Zealand Paralympics Games team on their incredible results at the Rio 2016 Paralympics. 

The 31-strong New Zealand Paralympic team beat their pre-Games medal target of 18 by three medals, winning a total of 21 (9 gold, 5 silver, 7 bronze). The only time New Zealand has ever won more medals was the 25 medals secured back in 1984 (8 gold).  The fantastic Rio effort also saw New Zealand finish at number 1 on the medals per capita table.

The athletes arrive home early at Auckland airport on Thursday morning and there will be a public welcome back for the New Zealand team on Friday, starting at 10am at AUT Millennium in Mairangi Bay, Auckland.
