NZ's golden games: Inside the highs of Paris 2024 and what success means for our athletes

View descriptionShare

The 2024 Paris Olympics have come to an end – and what a fortnight it has been for the New Zealand Team. 

With ten golds, seven silver and three bronze, our athletes are bringing home the most Gold medals ever won in a single Olympics, and have equalled our record set in Tokyo.  

With the likes of Dame Lisa Carrington and Lydia Ko ensuring their place in the history books, to rising stars like Hamish Kerr, Ellesse Andrews and Finn Butcher, there were plenty of Kiwi sporting stars in action. 

With the games now over, and the four year journey to Los Angeles 2028 already beginning for some, we’re recapping the Olympic highs and lows today on The Front Page with Newstalk ZB sports reporter and Gold Sport commentator, Elliott Smith.
