By Dave Crampton Swimming World contributor<\/em><\/p>\n

New Zealand Para-swimmer Mary Fisher, one of the sports top ambassadors, has missed out on a nomination to the Halberg Awards after her sporting body, Paralymics New Zealand, (PNZ) omitted to send her prepared entry.<\/p>\n

The Halberg Awards are the pinnacle sporting event in event in New Zealand, and are broadcast live throughout the country each February.<\/p>\n

Fisher won the Disabled Sportsperson of the Year earlier this year, for the first time, after being top-ranked in the world in five short course events.<\/p>\n

However, the administrative bungle for next year\u2019s event in February, was not discovered until entries had closed.<\/p>\n

Fisher has been a Halberg finalist since 2012. This year, she defended three of her world titles, was second in two others and got two short course world records at the New Zealand Short course championships in September<\/p>\n

\u201cWhilst Mary\u2019s nomination was fully prepared and approved by PNZ in consultation with Mary\u2019s coach and family, an administrative error has meant that Mary\u2019s nomination form was not submitted,\u201d PNZ CEO Fiona Allan said.\u00a0\u201cMary coped surprisingly well with this disappointing news with her usual professionalism.\u201d<\/p>\n

While surprised and annoyed at the omission, Fisher was gracious.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m disappointed for all that this has happened,\u201d she said. \u201cHaving been informed that I\u2019d be nominated it surprised me. I\u2019ve had a great 2015\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I won earlier this year it was a highlight of my life to share my swimming journey and thank everyone involved in it on such a large scale. It\u2019s wonderful to connect and be inspired by other athletes and draw energy from the New Zealand sports scene.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to supporting the finalists when they are named\u2026as well as celebrating the beginning of 2016: a Paralympic and Olympic Games year that is going to be epic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Allan said that as the top-ranked New Zealand medallist at the 2015 IPC World Championships there was a high likelihood that Fisher would have been named a finalist and potentially have had the opportunity to repeat her success in winning the award last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo not have the chance to be recognised for her achievements at New Zealand’s premier sports awards is a bitter blow to everyone involved in supporting Mary. Both myself and our chairman, Dr Selwyn Maister, have personally contacted Mary to extend our deepest apologies for this error.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
