Their quest for gold is about to begin.
Sarah Hirini and Hamish Bond are likely to carry a flag each in Friday’s opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympic Games, due to Covid restrictions. Nga Pou Hapai (flagbearers) Hirini, a sevens player, and rowing eight member Bond are in different athlete bubbles, so must remain two metres apart in bid to stop the spread of Covid. Chef de mission Rob Waddell was on Monday seeking clarity around how the flag issue might unfold, though an NZOC spokeswoman said more than likely Hirini and Bond would be allowed to carry a flag each.
