Paris 2024: Andrews and Wollaston complete New Zealand's most successful Olympic Games
SENZ • August 11th, 2024 11:15 am
After two and a half weeks of intense competition for New Zealand's athletes, and broken sleep for the supporters back home, the final day of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games has arrived.
The NZ team have already achieved their greatest ever gold medal tally after an impressive Day 15 showing on the water, on the golf course, and the incredible track and field theatre that has been Stade de France.
Day 16 sees the streets of Paris provide a stunning backdrop for the women's marathon featuring Camille French, plus at the Saint Quentin en Yvelines Veldrome, the Kiwi track cycling team pushes for further honours with a packed Sunday night schedule (NZT).
The Olympic Games will officially come to an end when the closing ceremony takes place Monday at 6am (NZT), handing the torch over to Los Angeles for 2028.
Check back in with senzradio.nz for results at the conclusion of Day 16, plus podcasts and reaction throughout Monday from Scotty & Izzy, through to The Run Home with Kirst & Beav.
