Welcome to the Tokyo Aquatics Centre. Will Lewis Clareburt make history for New Zealand today? @1NewsNZ#Swimming
These NZ flags were up… but officials have just taken them down, presumably because they were covering Tokyo 2020 signage #Swimming#Tokyo2020
Olympics royalty has arrived: Michael Phelps is in the house 🐐 #swimming#Tokyo2020
Under 30 minutes to go. Clareburt with a chance to become NZ’s first Olympics medallist in the pool since Loader in 1996. I’m getting goosebumps #Swimming#Tokyo2020
Here he is, Lewis Clareburt. Noise in here is awesome, fellow swimmers and coaches making a great atmosphere #swimming
Heartbreaking. Second place until the final 50m. #swimming
7th place in the end, so promising until the final 50m. Clareburt is young. He’ll be back #swimming#Tokyo2020

The OlyWhites are underway in Kashima. Could be a big night for @TheNZTeam if they can grab a win against Honduras #football#Tokyo2020
Bugger. Considering how immense Reid was in the last game, that is a hammer blow. The captain comes off inured with what looks to be a knee injury #football#Tokyo2020
“The Hondurans will look to strike while the iron is relatively warm here,” says the commentator.
Luckily for the OlyWhites, striking irons that aren’t hot is a fruitless task #football#Tokyo2020
