IN celebration of Olympic kayaker Lisa Carrington’s gold medal win, Whakatane’s ANZ branch enveloped their ATM in a gold-coloured frame on Wednesday.
Carrington’s win in the 200-metre canoe sprint race earned New Zealand its third Olympic gold medal in Rio.
As a major sponsor off the 2016 New Zealand Olympic Team, ANZ will wrap ATMs in the home towns of all New Zealand gold medal-winning Olympic athletes.
ANZ spokeswoman Sonia Ball said the move is was part of ANZ’s Dream Big Campaign, which helped community sports clubs and players achieve their dreams, and promoted the development of New Zealand’s young sporting talent.
