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.
