News & Updates

An exciting breadth of talent defines our second largest Olympics contingent in history.

The New Zealand Athletics Team continues to new heights with 17 athletes confirmed for the historic Paris games.
Growing from a team of 8 in London 2012, 14 in Rio 2016 and 13 in Tokyo 2020, the 2024 contingent is our largest since Atlanta (18 athletes) in 1996.

Two-time Olympic bronze medalist, Tom Walsh, leads with his deep games experience as he returns for his third straight Olympic team. While 9 Olympic debutants including triple jumper, Ethan Olivier, and 1500m runner, Maia Ramsden, bring a slew of fresh faces for New Zealand Olympic fans.
Boasting athletes competing across almost all event groups, the team is a testament to the passion the New Zealand athletics community invests into our sport.
