Erin Routliffe: NZ Tennis Olympian ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics

Early Edition with Ryan Bridge

Excitement is building in Paris as the Olympic Opening Ceremony draws near.

In less than 24 hours, nearly 100 boats will be floating down the River Seine for the outdoor ceremony.

195 Kiwi athletes are in France for the Games, competing across 22 sports.

Erin Routliffe is competing in the tennis doubles alongside Lulu Sun, and told Ryan Bridge that they’re excited to play together.

She said that they’re trying to figure out their identity as a team, but they’re both good players so they’ll be pretty adaptable when playing together.
