Lisa Carrington

When it comes to the debate over New Zealand’s greatest Olympian, one name rises above the rest: Lisa Carrington. The kayak sprint superstar has rewritten the record books with eight Olympic gold medals and one bronze, showcasing unmatched skill, power, and longevity on the world stage. In this episode, we’re thrilled to sit down with the Kiwi icon herself to dive into her incredible journey — from her breakthrough at her very first Games in London, to the life-changing highs of Paris, and now her sights firmly set on a fifth Olympic appearance in Los Angeles 2028. Lisa shares how her training is evolving, where she actually keeps all those medals, and why she and Usain Bolt are basically the same person. We also chat about the perks of having a street named after you, being made a Dame, and, of course, the very special “Colin” in her life (spoiler: he might just be cuter than ours). It’s an inspiring, funny, and unmissable conversation with one of the greatest athletes of all time.
