Aaron Gate: New Zealand Olympic track cyclist on being selected as an Olympic Flagbearer for the opening ceremony

It's a proud moment for two athletes after being named New Zealand's flag bearers for the 2024 Olympic games.  Track cyclist Aaron Gate and sailing athlete Jo Aleh were formally announced at a ceremony this morning.  Two-time Olympian Jo Aleh won gold at London 2012 and Silver in Rio 2016, while four-time Olympian Aaron Gate won Bronze at London 2012.  Gate told Mike Hosking it's a special moment, and one that's taken him by surprise.  He says 1956 was the last time a track cyclist was named New Zealand's flag bearer, so it's great for his team and for cycling in general.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
