From Checkpoint, 5:07 pm on 3 August 2021

Lisa Carrington has led the charge, literally, at the Tokyo Olympics.

The power house paddler took out two golds - one in the singles, one in the doubles, equaling our most decorated Olympians, with a career medal haul of five so far.

Carrington's partner in the K-2 500m, Caitlin Regal, all the more royal in gold too. It is her first medal.

At the Cloud in downtown Auckland, reporter Louise Ternouth joined Carrington's family for the big day.
