New Zealand has always led in track and field at the Commonwealth Games, but concerns have been raised ahead of the 2034 event.
New Zealand is in the running to host the 2034 Commonwealth Games, but there's currently no suitable athletics venue to host the sport.
Athletics NZ chief executive Cam Mitchell says if we're looking to host the 2034 Games, our infrastructure needs improvement.
"If we are looking to host international athletics and we're also looking to grow our sport and create special moments like we had on Saturday night with track stars, then the infrastructure needs - they grow."
