NZ Sporting History: The 2000 Sydney Olympics

From Afternoons, 2:30 pm on 22 September 2022

For this week's sporting history we're going back to the turn of the millennium, the 2000 Sydney Summer Olympics.

Not a great year for team New Zealand in terms of medals, but one very memorable gold.

Sports reporter Chris Rattue was in Sydney for the Herald - he's here to share his memories of covering the Games.
