Gold, Silver And Bronze For New Zealand!

Peter Burling and Blair Tuke have won their expected gold medal in the men's 49er in style, crossing the finish line in the medal race in first place.

Jo Aleh and Polly Powrie's rollercoaster Olympic regatta has finished on a high, with the Kiwi pair completing a remarkable recovery to take out silver in the women's 470.

Lisa Carrington also added further glory to New Zealand's Olympic campaign overnight, claiming the nation's second bronze medal of the Games.

After winning gold in the shorter K1 200m event just two days ago, Carrington followed up that impressive feat by bagging bronze to join Barbara Kendall and shot putter Val Adams as the only Kiwi women with a total of three career Olympic medals.

She's also the first Kiwi woman to win two medals at the same Olympics.
