Another Olympic medal was in Southland this week. Women's track cyclistNicole Shields brought her silver medal from the Women's Team Pursuit in Paris back to the south and also took time to share her incredible story with The Roar.

Her 2022 was spent on a couch suffering from Long Covid. 2023 was spent learning to function as a person again. The incredible resilience and courage she showed to get to the start line in Paris blew our minds. 

Before then Logan, Nathan and Nick take a look at a tough week for the Stags, Josh Bekhuis' incredible longevity and what a debacle NZR's judicial process seems to be.
