From First Up, 5:35 am on 15 June 2021

Love is like a trampoline for New Zealand's only representative at the Olympics in the trampoline - Dylan Schmidt. The 24 year old competed at the Rio Games where he placed 7th and he's definitely hoping for a podium finish in Tokyo. As part of our First Up series of interviews with Olympic athletes, Nathan Rarere caught up with Dylan who told him his tramplining origin story which did not start in the way you'd think.
