New Zealand’s four medals at the Tokyo Olympics yesterday brought the country’s total to 19 — the most New Zealand has ever achieved at the Olympics, surpassing 18 at Rio in 2016. Once again Lisa Carrington (left) led the way, her gold in the women’s K1 500 metres sprint kayaking final giving her three gold medals for these Games and five over three Olympics. Added to the country’s haul was a bronze to Tom Walsh in the shot put and silvers to track cyclists Ellesse Andrews and Campbell Stewart. Heading into today, New Zealand was 11th on the medal table, which was topped by China. New Zealand’s best-ever overall ranking was eighth at the 1984 Games in Los Angeles where Ian Ferguson led a 19MEDALS & COUNTING kayaking medal assault. Carrington’s gold yesterday made her the country’s most successful Olympian, igniting the debate as to whether she is the GOAT (greatest of all time). If she were a country at these Games, Carrington would be 24th on the table, ahead of the likes of , Greece, South Africa and Turkey.
