Source Notes
Sy Scholfield quotes her father in a news profile: "Where were you on New Year’s Eve, 1999? ...two of the country’s top cyclists Jon Andrews and Angela Mote were in Christchurch Women’s Hospital as the clock neared midnight. Andrews, an Olympian in Barcelona in 1992, recalls with a laugh: “I was trying to encourage Angela to hold on another 15 minutes so Ellesse would be born in the new century... that would have meant she was in a younger age group for sport. She was born at 11.45pm on the 31st. Ange is convinced that she wanted Ellesse to be born in the last century, and the midwife and I were quite keen on the new century, but Ange got her way, as she normally does.”
