Seasonal sickness is seeing a drop in numbers at Tauranga's AIMS\xa0games.
The week-long sporting event for 11 to 13-year-olds has been canned for the past three years due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but is going ahead this week.
AIMS\xa0Games Tournament Director Kelly Schischka told Mike Hosking at their peak they had around 11,500 attendees.
\u201cWe\u2019re at sort of 10,840-odd this year. Schools have been really hammered by winter illness, so we\u2019ve had a few drop out along the way.\u201d
