New Zealand will have two weightlifters competing at the Rio Olympics in August. Check out who will be waving the Kiwi flag.
Richie Patterson
Birthdate: April 30, 1983
Home town: Auckland
Discipline: 75kg weightlifting
Previous Olympics: Beijing, 2008, London 2012
Fact: Patterson qualified for London courtesy of team mate Tavita Ngalu lifting a weight while having ripped his quadriceps at the Oceania champs that year, which enabled Patterson to go as New Zealand's highest-ranked lifter.
