It is less than one month til the Olympics in Paris kick off. 10,500 athletes from 206 nations will compete between July 26 and August 11, including around 190 New Zealanders involved in more than 20 sports.

Leading them to Paris is Chef de Mission Nigel Avery - he's a former Olympic weightlifter at the Sydney 2000 Olympics, and was team Chef de Mission for New Zealand at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games in 2022.
