It was a day of history for New Zealand at the Olympic Games and a day full of medals.

Four medals in total, with canoe sprint supertstar Lisa Carrington earning her third gold of these Games to become the most decorated Olympian in New Zealand history.

Elsewhere, Tom Walsh won bronze in the shot put and it was a great night for our track cycling team with two silver medals.

Here is a look at some of our performers across the Games venues….
