The Halberg winners
Simon Plumb at stuff reports the Halberg winners:
- Halberg Supreme awards – Hamish Bond and Eric Murray
- sports Team – Hamish Bond and Eric Murray
- Sportsman – Mahe Drsdale
- Sportswoman – valerie adams
- Disabled – sophie pascoe
- Coach – Richard Tonks
- Emerging Talent – Lydia Ko
The only one I would really dispute is the sportswoman award. I think Lydia Ko and Lisa Carrington were both higher up the achievement stakes – and Ko higher than Carrington. I would have had Adams third – and no disrespect to her – just a measure of the many great results in 2012.
