From Morning Report, 8:45 am on 9 August 2021

New Zealand athletes have made history at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, hauling in a record number of medals.

Our team is coming home with 20 medals - seven of which are gold - beating the previous record of 18 at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

We've also made our mark on the global stage in a wider range of sports than in previous games.
