Hamish Kerr has claimed another title. The Olympic gold medallist has been awarded Sportsman of the Year at the Halberg Awards. The high jumper beat out some tough competition for the title, including two other gold medallists Finn Butcher and Hayden Wilde. Kerr told Mike Hosking that it was cool to see not only New Zealand Olympians at the event, but also crickets, and footballers. “Such an amazing range of sports, all represented.” He believes that sport unites the country, saying that the attitude Kiwis took towards the Olympics was really felt overseas. “I felt proud to be a Kiwi out there, you know, watching all my fellow competitors or compatriots compete – it was so special.” A lot of people are still connected to sport, and athletics in particular, and he thinks the athletics success in Paris has started to bring people back into it. “I've done a couple of comps since, just domestically, and you know, just the reaction from the people coming down wanting to meet not only me, but all the other Olympians has been, has been so, so cool to see.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Since we last spoke to Dame Lisa Carrington she has won three Olympic gold medals in Paris – bringing her career tally to an astounding eight gold medals – and cementing her place amongst the world's greatest ever Olympians. So we had a lot to catch up about. We find out about the teamwork involved in the K4 triumph, which added another layer to her legacy, smashing world records at training, why she swerved us at the Halberg Awards, the truth about the most difficult year of her career – and how close she came to walking away, training through sickness, her relationship with husband Bucky – and why she makes him a coffee every morning, if she'll continue in the boat, becoming an author and the most articulate insights into her elite mindset. It was a really special episode. Lisa was an open book – and there are so many incredible nuggets of wisdom and inspiration sprinkled across this episode. After listening, you really will understand how she's won 8 Olympic gold medals. It's not just the discipline and the drive, it's the thought that goes into every decision along the way. We felt so incredibly privileged to have a front row seat with NZ's great athlete, hope you enjoy. We're also stoked to have Dame Lisa on the books of B2B Speakers, so if you like what you hear in this episode and would love her to share her story at your function or event, flick us a message by going to b2bspeakers.co.nz.

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all.   Sam Cane: 6/10 Tricky call this. No, he shouldn't have done it. But, then having done it I don't think anyone would begrudge him sending a message to an idiot. But then the mistake was the apology and the All Blacks gear. When the All Blacks are out-woking the woke, the world is upside down.   The Warriors: 8/10 That Parramatta Eels thrashing is as good as a turmeric shot and olive leaf extract in winter.   Te Huia: 2/10 In all honesty, pull the pin. It loses money, it's slower than a car, no one uses it and it can't stop at red lights.   The back up plane for the Prime Minister: 2/10 BS of the week part one. "Nothing to see here, we do it all the time." Oh, whoops, no we don't.   RATs: 2/10 BS of the week part two. We first don't know where they are, oh wait, yes we do and a lot of them are no longer of any use. By the way, it cost half a billion dollars for nothing. Then they go and defend it!   Wine: 8/10 $2.3 billion in income to the country. I'll drink to that.   Shane van Gisbergen: 9/10 What he did in America will never be recognised by the likes of a Halberg. But it really was that good.   Threads: 7/10 At 100 million members and growing you can't say it isn't a successful start-up.   LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEWSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of Between two Beers we talk to Dame Lisa Carrington.  Lisa is New Zealand's most successful Olympian of all time with five Olympic gold medals in the sprint Kayak, one bronze and 12 World Championship titles.  For over a decade, Lisa has been the best in the world at her sport and after listening to this conversation it will become clear why.  We go deep inside the mind of a champion, and talk about her relationship with self-doubt and high performance, why she hasn't missed training in 13 years, and how she deals with race-day pressure. We also hear about her passport slip-ups, gym playlists, superstitions, the power of journalling, and all the best and most entertaining stories from a life on the road.  Seamus and I were mesmerized by this chat in places. It's so rare you get such an extended period of time to probe away at the inner workings of the very best in the world, and Lisa's discipline, thought process, and ability to articulate how she succeeds was really, really cool.
