Track cyclist Aaron Gate and sailor Jo Aleh have been named New Zealand's flagbearers for the Paris Olympics opening ceremony.
Aaron Gate was a team pursuit bronze medallist back at the 2012 London Olympics, and Jo Aleh is a two-time medallist, winning gold in the 470 at the London Games, followed by silver four years later in Rio.
In this episode of Paris Essentials, we hear from both of the flagbearers, we catch up with the latest action in Paris with the Football Ferns and the New Zealand Sevens team in action, and we look ahead to the tennis tournament.
