Recently, Wikinews spent time with with New Zealand Paralympic skier Adam Hall who was at Copper Mountain, Colorado for the IPC Nor-Am Cup.
((Wikinews))  We're interviewing famous Kiwi Paralympic legend Adam Hall, Paralympic skier. What classification are you?
((WN))  LW1.  So you are a standing skier?
((WN))  And how does a Kiwi end up skiing? Because it's not known as the world's greatest country for skiing. 
((WN))  New Zealand's had a couple of really famous skiers compared to their neighbour [Australia], right?
((WN))  You're the most decorated New Zealand Paralympian on the winter side?
((WN))  Are you from the South Island?
((WN))  So you ski in Otago?
((WN))  After the Summer Olympics, your government had all sorts of budget issues. Has that impacted the Paralympic stuff on the winter side or in general, or is it just the Olympics where they are like "we don't want to fund everything"?  
((WN))  They are giving you money to ski?
((WN))  Do you think you're better resourced than, say, the Americans?  
((WN))  Are you going to go to Sochi?
((WN))  Have you qualified points-wise points already?
((WN))  What's your favourite skiing events? 
((WN))  It's because you like to go fast?
((WN))  Anything that people should know about disability sport in New Zealand?
((WN))  Okay, cool.  Thank you very much.
