It was an Olympics that might never have happened, but twenty medals later, the New Zealand team is triumphant. For New Zealand's 211 athletes, the pandemic meant no family or spectators at the games, strict rules and of course the risk of catching Covid-19. Susie Ferguson spoke to former Olympian and world champion rower Rob Waddell.

New Zealand's greatest Games to date - the Olympic team are bringing home our biggest ever medal haul from Tokyo - placing us 11th on table. So far NZ athletes have won seven golds, six silver and six bronze medals - bringing the total to 19. And the medal hopes are not over yet, with track cycling, canoeing and golf to come.

New Zealand chef de mission Rob Waddell told Morning Report producer Daniel Gilhooly the cases had come as no surprise.

A fourth at the 2008 Olympics with Rob Waddell was crunch time for Nathan....stay or go?The result proved to be the catalyst to drive Nathan toward Gold in London 2012. It's the four years in between that made the difference. Four years of hard work, commitment, a strategy and a point to prove.Nathan and Joseph Sullivan teamed up and took out the Gold in 2012....from the back of the pack to first, with a huge last 250 meters. Take the time to watch how they did it.A very proud moment for all Kiwis.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KC_OcudRnKc As a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for his services to rowing, Nathan is also a two-time world champion. In 2006, rowing a single scull, he won a gold medal at the World University Games.

PODCAST EPISODE 2: Manuka King Rob Waddell from Grand Ridge Nursery It was three years ago that I met nursey owner, bee lover and plant genius Rob Waddell at the Coonara Beekeeping Club in Ferntree Gully, Victoria. As plants are the key to making bees happy, I was struck with Rob's incredible wealth of knowledge, especially when it came to Australian natives and the magical Manuka tree responsible for the medicinal variety of honey that we should all be tucking into as wintertime hits. For this reason, I am beyond delighted to introduce Rob to the BEES WITH BEN podcast! Rob Waddell is a passionate bloke, a generous soul and a lover of nature. He is the owner of Grand Ridge Nursery at Seaview which stocks an incredible selection of native plants and provides a wonderful tree planting and propagations service. With an incredible amount of knowledge under his belt, Rob is the perfect guy to help you with your native plant needs, and a local go-to for tips and information on the remarkable Manuka plant. And if there is one thing that Rob and I have in common, it's a love of Manuka. And so much of what I know about Manuka, I learnt from Rob! In fact, I recently planted 100 trees myself, based on his advice, on my family's property in the Yarra Valley, and I am dying to see them grow over the years. As Rob's website states, the Chinese proverb tells, "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now". So why is right now the (second) best time to plant your Manuka trees? Manuka partnered with hungry bees makes the kind of magical honey that not only tastes great but has countless antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant medicinal benefits and qualities. Manuka honey is produced by bees that pollinate the flowers of the manuka bush (Leptospermum scoparium) which is native to New Zealand and south-eastern Australia. So, what makes manuka honey special? Manuka's unique trait is its high antibacterial quality – its active ingredient, Methylglyoxal, is most likely responsible for these effects, and this honey variety has traditionally been used for wound healing, preventing tooth decay, soothing sore throats, and improving digestive issues. Strong stuff! So, with the chills of winter setting in, now is the perfect time to listen in on Episode 2 of the BEES WITH BEN podcast as I chat with Rob about the countless benefits of magical Manuka honey, the best way to plant Manuka trees, the ins and outs of running a nursery, and why native plants should hold a special place in all Australians hearts.

Athletes who'd been preparing for three years to compete in the now postponed Tokyo Summer Olympic Games are now having to decide whether or not they will pursue their dream.

For others, that extra year to prepare or recover from injuries is a lifeline. Track cyclist Eddie Dawkins has already made the decision to retire after hoping to bow out at Tokyo. He talks to Kathryn about his decision, along with former gold medal rower, now New Zealand Olympic Team's Chef de Mission, Rob Waddell.
