SPORTS
Sport plays a big part in Cook Islanders' lives and 2009 was a particularly busy sporting year. We hosted the World Youth Netball Championships with 20 teams of young netballers from all over the world. This was followed by the Pacific Mini Games with athletes from 21 Pacific island countries competing in 15 different sporting codes.
This category also includes building the new stadium and other international and local events so there are lots of videos here with plenty more to come.
