Track cyclist Aaron Gate and sailing athlete Jo Aleh have been named the flag bearers for the New Zealand Team at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
The Football Ferns take on Canada in their first match following the spying scandal that rocked the team's preparation for the game.
While the games don't officially start until the opening ceremony on Saturday, several sports have already begun.
Following their winning start on Thursday the All Blacks Sevens have beaten Ireland early this morning and will take on South Africa in the quarterfinals on Friday.
