Track cyclist Aaron Gate and sailing athlete Jo Aleh have been named the flag bearers for the New Zealand Team at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Following their winning start on Thursday the All Blacks Sevens beat Ireland early this morning, but were knocked out in the quarterfinals by South Africa.

The Football Ferns have lost 2-1 to Canada following the spying scandal that rocked the team's preparation for the game.

The games officially start with the opening ceremony on Saturday.
