Catherine Field: France Correspondent on the success of the Paris Olympics

The Paris Olympics is going down as a success among Parisians. 

Newstalk ZB Correspondent Catherine Field is on the ground in the French capital, where she says hosting the Games was seen as a throw of the dice for the City of Love. 

She told Mike Hosking that with most of the stadiums outdoors, security was always going to be an issue, but it proved to be a success. 

New Zealand's team is now on the way home with our best ever medal haul. 

In all, we won 20: ten Gold, seven Silver, and three Bronze.
