Six and a Song with Nigel Avery

Matt Heath & Tyler Adams Afternoons - A podcast by Newstalk ZB

Nigel Avery has spent almost 56 years in sport from, running, jumping and throwing as a kid in athletics, to almost making the 1996 Olympic games in a New Zealand bobsleigh team, to winning of course five Commonwealth Games weightlifting medals, including two golds, and competing in Olympic Games weightlifting. He went on to work in high-performance management before taking on the role of Chef de Mission of the NZ olympic team in Paris - which as we know was our most successful campaign ever. Nigel Avery joined Simon Barnett and James Daniels for Six and a Song. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
