Dame Lisa Carrington: Olympic kayak sprint gold medalist says it's an honour to lead Kiwi athletes in Closing Ceremony

Our most successful Olympics of all time is coming to a close in Paris.

Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg and the Red Hot Chili Peppers are all performing in the closing ceremony.

Flagbearer Dame Lisa Carrington told Mike Hosking it's an honour to be leading our Kiwi athletes alongside fellow flagbearer Finn Butcher.

“I’d say I’m a bit of a different athlete now than I was then, and I think it’s really special to be able to do it. We’ve had such a great Olympics.”

New Zealand is bringing home 20 medals — ten Gold, seven Silver, and three Bronze — putting us 11th in the Gold Medal Table.
