Hail, fallen trees and blackouts couldn't stop Alice Springs Masters Games

Key points

• Tuesday's golf round was cancelled, and Wednesday's street party moved indoors. About 1,800 athletes competed in more than 20 sports.
• Competitors said residents helped clear fallen trees, and the athletes kept going.
