Swimmer Erika Fairweather has made it through to the 200m freestyle final.

Fairweather was finished seventh fastest after the semi-finals on Monday morning. The final will be held early on Tuesday.

The Black Ferns won their first two games of the tournament this morning - besting both China and Canada - they take on Fiji in their final pool match early on Tuesday.

But several New Zealand athletes had a tough time at the Olympics overnight and early on Monday.

Surfer Saffi Vette was eliminated from the Games in her second round heat in Tahiti.

Lulu Sun lost her first round singles match to Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk and her doubles match with Erin Routliffe was delayed again by rain.

Gymnast Georgia Rose-Brown missed out on the finals, Luuka Jones missed out on the medals in the kayak singles, and Sammie Maxwell finished 8th at the mountain biking.

Swimmer Lewis Clareburt made it to the 400m individual medley final but came 6th.

New Zealand remains medal-less.
