"Toia Mai Te Waka Nei" is a waiata about teamwork. It reminds us that, like people pulling a waka together, we are stronger when we work together, help one another, and never give up.
Nau mai, haere mai ki tō mātou akomanga.

Weightlifter David Liti and judo athlete Moira de Villiers led the New Zealand team into the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony in Glasgow, Scotland on Friday. Liti carried the New Zeland flag and de Villiers held Te Kaunoti, New Zealand’s King’s Baton.
For the first time, every Commonwealth nation and territory received their own Baton for The King's Baton Relay and were asked to customise and decorate it to represent their culture. New Zealand’s Baton is designed by Master Artist Ta Derek Lardelli and is named Te Kaunoti after the traditional Māori fire stick.
The relay takes 18 months and travels through all 74 nations and territories in the Commonwealth, with the last runner bringing Scotland's baton to the King at the opening ceremony.
For the first time as part of The King’s Baton Relay, there will also be a global relay of plastic clean-ups for athletes and communities to come together to prevent one million pieces of plastic from entering Commonwealth waters.
