The Paris Olympics saw New Zealand athletes making a strong impression, with Eliza McCartney failing to reach the expected mark in the women's pole vault event, finishing sixth along with other competitors. She was also joined by Olivia McTaggart and Imogen Eales, both of whom failed to clear 4.70 meters and were eliminated before the finals. On a more positive note, the New Zealand women's cycling team excelled in the team pursuit event, winning the silver medal. Ellie Walsh, Briar Bott, Emily Shearman, and Nicole Hills narrowly lost to the US team, finishing a close second. Despite not winning the gold medal, this result marked the best performance by New Zealand in this event. In another highlight, Hamish Kerr qualified for the men's high jump finals after clearing 2.27 meters, becoming one of the only five athletes to accomplish this feat on the first attempt.
