WiSP World NZ: Zoe George, Katrina Grant, Alana Nichols, Courtney McGregor, Kereyn Smith, Karen Nimmo

With a week to go before the opening ceremony in Rio, Zoe George and Katrina Grant have another all-star cast on this month's Olympic themed episode.  Alana Nichols will be New Zealand's main hope in the road walking event and she joins us from her training base in Switzerland ahead of her departure for Rio. Sports Psychologist Karen Nimmo offers an insight into what Olympic athletes may be going through and how to overcome the nerves of such a big event to focus on performance. Gymnast Courtney McGregor tells us about her last minute preparation from her training base in the U.S. and who will be the ones to beat in Rio. And New Zealand's Olympic Committee CEO Kereyn Smith talks about the Kiwi Olympic team, its representation, diversity and final road to Rio.  Visit us at www.wispsports.com and join us on social media @WiSP Sports.
