The 1976 Olympic 1500m gold medallist Sir John Walker will present Nick Willis with his Olympic silver medal at a ceremony in Christchurch on Sunday week.
Willis originally received the bronze medal at the Beijing Olympics two and a half years ago, but was upgraded to silver following the disqualification of Bahrain's Rashid Ramzi for a doping violation.
The presentation will be part of an international track meet at QEII Park and will be the first time an Olympic medal has been presented in New Zealand.
