NZ’s Most Decorated Olympian
It only looks easy to us.
As she crossed the finish line to grab sole place at the top of New Zealand’s Olympic history, Lisa Carrington finally showed the strain of winning her sixth Olympic Games medal overall, and her fifth gold.
Carrington became New Zealand’s most prolific Olympic medallist with the win.
Her sixth Olympic medal and fifth gold pushed her to the top of the country’s Olympic podium she had previously shared for two days with fellow paddlers Ian Ferguson and Paul MacDonald and equestrian Sir Mark Todd, who all won five.
Lisa has been an Under Armour athlete for over a decade and the first athlete to represent the brand in New Zealand.
