New Zealand's top sporting stars turned out at a night of glitz and glamour to celebrate at this year's Halberg Awards.
The premiere awards, held in Auckland, once again paid tribute to our sporting best and in particular to the successes of those who competed in last year's Rio Olympics.
Competition was tight, with many of the finalists being athletes who performed with distinction at Rio.
The Sportsman of the Year went to Olympic rowing champ Mahe Drysdale, while the Sportswoman of the Year was awarded to canoeing star Lisa Carrington.
