Our GOAT Olympian
I recall seeing Lisa Carrington win her first gold medal in 2012. I was in a bar in Martinborough and everyone was watching and cheering. Her down to earth nature shone through as much as her athletic achievement.
She has now won her eighth Olympic gold medal, and even more remarkably has done it over four Olympics. Only seven people in Olympic history have won more gold medals than her. The closest any other NZer has done is four for Ian Ferguson.
She is our greatest Olympian of all time.
