Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I whakauruhia te pahikara maunga hei kaupapa Olympic mo nga Taakaro 1996. Ko nga wahine e rua tino kaha, ko Kathy Lynch raua ko Mary Grigson, i whiwhi i a New Zealand e rua nga waahi tohu mo nga Orimipia; kaore he tangata o Niu Tireni i tohu. I whakaae a Grigson ki te whakataetae mō Ahitereiria - i whakataetae a ia mō rātou i te Olympics i
1996 me te 2000<unk>a mahue i a Aotearoa, nā reira i whakatau te New Zealand Mountain Bike Association ki te tohu i tētahi kaitākaro anake mō te kapa Olympic o Aotearoa.
