    New Zealand's Winter Olympic chef de mission Marty Toomey has praised his team's experienced athletes for easing the nerves of the debutants


    12 of the 17 selected are competing at their first Games, while defending champion snowboarder Zoi Sadowski-Synnott and alpine skier Alice Robinson are attending their third.
