Valerie Adams has competed in 39 shot put meets within the Diamond League calendar in her career. Of those 39 she has finished in the top three on 37 occasions and taken first place on 28 occasions.
We've been graced with a New Zealand XI and an Emerging Players XI, two teams who will do battle this week and showcase Aotaeroa's cricketing depth.
Hamish Marshall hit a century as he, James Franklin and Craig Cachopa all enjoyed victories. Lord Jeetz didn't quite celebrate a win, he did however celebrate even more wickets.
Jimmy Neesham is back in the Blackcaps squad, where will he fit in? And why do we need more seam-bowlin' all-rounders in India?
Craig Cachopa popped up for Sussex and the rest of our Kiwi County Tour went to battle against each other ... of course Jeetan Patel took wickets.
You could have been forgiven for thinking after the 2016 Olympics that the sport of men’s shot put was set to be dominated by Ryan Crouser for the foreseeable future.
Martin Guptill did his best Martin Guptill impersonation in Africa, so what now?
Neil Wagner was a shining light for the Blackcaps as Dale Steyn and Vernon Philander got rowdy at their comeback party for South Africa.
Leigh Kasperek will lead the spin department for the White Ferns as they head to South Africa for seven ODI's.
Jeetan Patel and Hamish Marshall were the only lads on the bus, trust the veterans to hold it down for the Kiwi County Tour.
The Olympics may have only just ended but the noble art-form of shot put knows no interruptions and with that both Valerie Adams and Tom Walsh were straight back into competition in Europe.
Keep looking forward as the Blackcaps take on South Africa in the second Test - it's kinda the first though - of their silly series. It's still all about the bowlers with two slick bowling groups doing battle.
Suzie Bates was exceptional in the Women's Super League final, leading the Southern Vipers to glory along with fellow White Ferns Sara McGlashan and Morna Nielsen.
Tim Southee and Trent Boult up against Vernon Philander and Dale Steyn? Sign me up, sign me up for some rip-snorting Blackcaps vs South Africa Test Cricket.
Jeetan Patel sent Kumar Sangakkara packing and took 7 wickets for Warwickshire against Surrey, while James Franklin's still leading by example for Middlesex.
Suzie Bates once again leads our White Ferns Super League Tour, she's steered them towards the final and we've got a battle between two White Ferns to see who Bates and her gang will play in that final.
Lots of numbers to enjoy (like Ross Taylor's non-existent series average) from the Blackcaps' series win over Zimbabwe. Now for South Africa.
James Franklin scored runs and took wickets for Middlesex, leading by example while Jeetan Patel ... well the Jeetz Show ain't stopping!
Amy Satterthwaite's up there with the best run-scorers in the Women's Super League and of course, Suzie Bates is dominating as well.
