Amber Halliday
Despite being a World Champion and Olympic rower and holding degrees in media and psychology, Amber at first shied away from sports journalism. Cutting her teeth at a glossy lifestyle magazine then in the Sunday Mail’s gossip and social pages, she moved into her natural habitat in the sports pages last year. No longer living in denial as a sports nut, Amber’s now taken up the equally gruelling sport of cycling where she’s won the Tour of New Zealand is the current National Champion in the time trial.

They should update other things in the game too.
