Ultimate - the disc-throwing sport that's growing in NZ

From Summer Report, 8:56 am on 10 January 2020

Throwing a disc around the backyard or on the beach is a favourite summer past-time of mine, but there's also a competitive sport based around the flying disc that's growing in popularity in New Zealand.

This raumati, we're discovering more about some of the sports that don't get the same sort of coverage as tennis or rugby, and today we're taking a closer look at Ultimate. Ultimate, also known as ultimate disc or ultimate frisbee, is a sport that is a little more complex than just throwing a disc back and forth between your friends.

Executive Officer of New Zealand Ultimate, Iain Stewart, spoke to Leigh-Marama Mclachlan.
