Young swim star Lewis Clareburt will attempt to break a 25-year medal drought for New Zealand in the Olympic pool this weekend. The 22-year-old bronze medallist at the 2018 Commonwealth Games and 2019 World Champs swims in the 400m individual medley heats in Tokyo tomorrow night. He told our reporter, Clay Wilson, that he's hopeful of becoming New Zealand's first Olympic swim medallist since Danyon Loader won double gold in Atlanta.
