The Commonwealth Games in Glasgow are officially underway. 

New Zealand's scaled back team of 114 athletes have been welcomed at an opening ceremony, led by flag bearing weightlifter David Liti and baton bearing judoka Moira de Villiers. 

The country returned 50 medals at Birmingham four years ago, 20 of them gold. 

Chef de Mission Nigel Avery told Mike Hosking he doesn’t have a medal goal – instead their goal is to make sure every athlete succeeds to their level. 

He says they know some will get on the podium, and they hope there’s a lot of them, but they don’t think about specific numbers.
