From social isolation to 

representing New Zealand 

Eight years ago, Nathan 

Winkelman was stuck 

in a rut, spending most 

of his time playing 

PlayStation in his 

room. Now he is one 

of the country’s top 

intellectually disabled 

athletes. Kees Chalmers 

reports 

DIRECTIONLESS, with no 

social life and little prospects. 

That was Nathan Winkelman in 

2016. But the Special Olympics 

has turned his life around. 

Winkelman, 34, suffers from 

global development delays along 

with dyspraxia, a neurological 

disorder that affects his coordination 

and basic motor skills. 

Even everyday activities like 

shaving and brushing his teeth 

pose challenges. 

His mother, Corina 

Winkelman, heard about the 

Special Olympics and convinced 

him to drop the controller and 

pick up a basketball. 

Then, while at a fundraising 

event, his 198cm frame caught 

the eye of a basketball coach, who 

invited him to a training session. 

Winkelman instantly set his 

sights on representing New 

Zealand at the Special Olympics 

World Games, and last year 

realised that dream by competing 

in Berlin for three-on-three 

basketball. 

“It was an amazing 

opportunity; it was always my 

dream to represent New Zealand 

when I joined the Special 

Olympics, but I never expected 

to get picked or anything,” he 

said. 

The team finished fourth in 

their division, following a 

nail-biting plate final where 

the Kiwis were up with less 

than a minute to go, but fell short 

in the dying moments of the 

game. 

His focus is now on the Special 

Olympics’ national summer 

games, which will be held in 

Christchurch next December – 

the first time since 2005. 

Covid-19 gave the Special 

Olympics a tumultuous few 

years, forcing a delay to its most 

recent national summer games in 

Hamilton in 2022, and resulting 

in much lower numbers than 

previous events.

Tuatara comes to school 

• By Isabella Adams 

“WOW” – that was the 

reaction from Mt Pleasant 

School Te Kura o Paeraki 

pupils when they had a 

surprise visit from New 

Zealand’s largest reptile. 

The tuatara visit was part 

of an education scheme 

set up by the New Zealand 

Conservation Trust. 

The pupils were under the 

impression they were learning 

about endangered species 

using taxidermied objects, but 

were then surprised to see the 

real life tuatara. 

Eve McLeod, 6, loved seeing 

the “real tuatara” and learned 

they have spines along their 

back to scare away other 

animals. 

Ollie Myall, 5, said his 

favourite thing about the 

tuatara was how it can 

defend itself by puffing up its 

back. 

Trust resource 

and education 

co-ordinator Jan 

Hellyer (left) has 

been touring 

Canterbury 

with her 

“travelling 

tuatara” since 

2005. She explained the impact 

introduced animals, such as 

rats, mice, stoats and ferrets, 

have on New Zealand’s native 

wildlife. Hellyer said the 

SURPRISE: Archie Kelleher, Eve McLeod, Ollie Myall and Evelyn Sabitov enjoyed 

learning about tuatara at their surprise session. 

sessions are important to build 

on the existing conservation 

and environment lessons 

taught at school. “If I ask kids: 

‘Do you know what the word 

extinct means?’ They just 

about all say yes. 

“So there definitely is an 

understanding of the words, 

whether they know that that 

‘cute’ hedgehog is actually 

going to eat the lizards and 

skinks and the baby birds in 

your garden. 

“It is important to convey 

the message of how important 

it is to protect the kiwi as well 

as any of our native species . . . 

and making sure that we have 

these iconic species around 

forever.” 

Archie Kelleher, 6, said 

Hellyer showed the class her 

“stuffed kiwis”. Evelyn Sabitov, 

5, said she learned mother 

kiwis go leave their eggs to 

find food. 

Willowbank Wildlife 

Reserve provides Hellyer 

with the tuatara. Her sessions 

are aimed at pre-school and 

primary school children, but 

Hellyer also tours high schools 

and retirement villages. 

She said there is always 

one question she gets asked 

that she never knows how to 

answer. 

“The tricky one always is: 

‘How does the egg hatch?’ 

“I never really know how 

to answer that. Sometimes 

with the older students, the 

questions are really specific 

to what they are learning or 

needing to know. 

“The little ones, it’s kind of 

all over the place with their 

questions. It just depends 

on the classroom and what 

questions they ask.”

PROGRAMME 

Winner - Mairehau High

programme

to participating in weekly 

sport such as social pressures, 

confidence issues, anxiety and 

fear of failure. 

Mairehau High tailored the 

programme to resonate with 

them. Among the highlights was 

the introduction of boxing. 

The initiative not only 

improved their fitness but also 

created a sense of belonging for 

the girls.

Competitive sport a life-changer for 

intellectually disabled athlete 

• From page 1 

Next year, the summer games 

are set to be back at their best. 

More than 1300 athletes are 

expected to compete across 42 

clubs in 11 different sports, up 

from around 900 in 2022. 

Said Special 

Olympics NZ 

events director 

Liz Fitzgerald: 

“This last 12 

months has just 

been working 

through the programme 

of activity 

that we need 

to have lined up, 

Liz 

Fitzgerald 

so when we get to the year of the 

event, we’re all ready to go.” 

It includes organising accommodation, 

venues and core 

suppliers. 

The NSG’s funding comes 

from grants, and negotiations 

are under way with sponsors to 

help bring the attendance fee 

down, but athletes, coaches and 

managers will still have to pay a 

hefty sum. 

Fees have not been finalised 

but are expected to range between 

$550-$750, plus an extra 

$400-$600 to live in the athletes 

village at Canterbury University. 

The city council also provided 

funding to help secure the event 

RECOGNISED: Nathan Winkelman with the New Zealand Special Olympics basketball 

three-on-three team in Berlin. 

for the city. 

City council sports promotions 

and events advisor Brooke Jones 

said the new facilities – including 

the Parakiore Recreation Centre, 

set to open next year – will allow 

athletes to compete “in world 

class venues”. 

The Special Olympics has 

worked with Canterbury University 

on accommodating the 

athletes and making the costs as 

manageable as possible. 

“Our buyers aren’t looking to 

make a lot of money off us,” said 

Fitzgerald. 

“They’re looking to deliver an 

event for people who need some 

help in their lives.” 

Equally as critical are the 

thousands of coaches and volunteers, 

said Special Olympics NZ 

South Island sports co-ordinator, 

Paula Winsor. 

“It just wouldn’t happen without 

them.” 

For Winkelman, the physical 

obstacles walk hand in hand 

with the social challenges, with 

limited work and sporting opportunities 

when he was growing 

up. 

“People don’t want to hire 

someone with a disability because 

they think, well, we can get 

a capable person to do that job,” 

he said. 

For the past 11 years, Winkelman 

has worked as a small goods 

meat packer at Moot’s Meat 

Market in Riccarton. 

Corina said finding employment 

can be the biggest challenge 

for intellectually disabled 

people. 

She expressed 

frustration with 

the system and 

support networks 

generally. 

“We haven’t 

found any magic 

pill that’s fixed 

it all.” 

Al Robson 

Special Olympics chairperson 

and basketball coach Al Robson 

said it will be important to build 

on the momentum the Christchurch 

games will create, to ensure 

there are more opportunities for 

disabled athletes. 

One way was to establish 

integrated programmes with 

mainstream sports clubs. 

Work was also being done in 

schools to give opportunities to 

pupils who were being left out 

of sporting activities because of 

their disability. 

Because Winkelman has 

recently competed at the world 

games, he will be unable to compete 

at the next one in 2027 to 

give other athletes a go. He will 

be available for selection again 

in 2031. 

But, his motivation goes beyond 

a specific goal or even the 

game itself. 

“These Olympics have given 

me the opportunity to build 

friendships and have a social life, 

instead of just sitting at home 

doing nothing. 

“I want to keep playing ‘til I 

can’t play anymore.”
