NZ Sporting History: Nico Porteous' 2022 Winter Olympics Gold

From Afternoons, 2:30 pm on 22 June 2023

For this week's NZ Sporting history we're travelling not too far back in time - in fact to last year's Beijing Winter Olympics. Held under strict Covid quarantine - two young skiers wrote themselves into the history books, ending a 70-year wait for kiwi Winter Olympics gold. Zoi Sadowski Sinnott was one - the other was free-skier Nico Porteous - who skied and spun his way through the air to win the men's freeski halfpipe. Nico Porteous joins Jesse for this week's Sporting History.
