Hamish Kerr’s dramatic win in the high jump final capped a historic day for New Zealand at the Paris Games, where the nation secured three gold medals on day 15.
Kerr’s victory followed Lydia Ko’s triumph in golf and Dame Lisa Carrington’s win in the K1 500m final, bringing New Zealand’s total gold medal count to nine—the highest in the country’s Olympic history.
