New Zealand has its 100th Olympic medal after 49er sailors Blair Tuke and Peter Burling took silver in London.
The pair was presented their medals by New Zealand boardsailing legend Barbara Kendall.
It was a special moment with the pair excited to make New Zealand sporting history.
“Yeah, special,” says Tuke.
“Really, really proud. Some amazing people have won medals for our country and to be the 100th people to do that… that’s pretty cool.”
The pair was guaranteed a silver medal going into the race with their closest rivals, the Danish crew, too far behind in points to pose a threat.
