Having said that, I wouldn’t want to detract from the top speaker award given to Daniel Kaliski from South Africa. He was the best spreaker I saw during the preliminary rounds.

Dwain – you are right. The team performed realy well but Maria was on fire – it’s the best I’ve ever seen her. Bill -why wasn’t she first? The reason probably isn’t best published on a blog that all the world can see. Stephen Whittington will understand – Canada 2005.

I had the chance to watch the WSDC live, and Maria was the debater who clinched a tight and lively debate for the NZ team. She spoke passionately and movingly, and her speech was mesmerizing. My best wishes to them all.
