Dr Dave Gerrard completes a 57-year Tokyo Olympics loop

From Sunday Morning, 11:45 am on 8 August 2021

Representing New Zealand at the Tokyo Olympics in 1964 was Dr Dave Gerrard's first major overseas outing, so it has been something of an emotional return to the city - where he has been acting as a medical comissioner for Fina at this year's Games - for 'Doctor Dave.' Gerrard is with us on the eve of his return to New Zealand to explain why these have been the most remarkable Olympic Games from a Kiwi perspective and what it has meant for him to complete the 'Tokyo loop.'
