Show Notes

The Paris Olympics is coming to a close.

Dame Lisa Carrington and Finn Butcher are leading out Kiwi athletes as the flagbearers for the closing ceremony, getting underway now.

New Zealand now has 20 medals, including ten gold after a Bronze for Ally Wollaston and another Gold for Ellesse Andrews in the velodrome overnight.

New Zealand Chef de Mission Nigel Avery told Ryan Bridge it's one of our best Olympic campaigns ever.

“45 of our team will walk around with a piece of tin around their neck to get back to New Zealand. That’s huge — that’s about 20 percent of our total competing body, and so, it’s awesome.”
