The hopes for New Zealand's Olympic performance have gotten stronger after a record-breaking medal count at the World Indoor Championships.
After silvers were given to shot-putter Tom Walsh and pole vaulter Eliza McCartney over the weekend, the Kiwi contingent has landed two golds on the final day.
Hamish Kerr equalled the Oceania record of 2.36 metres to win the high jump and Geordie Beamish stunned a stellar field to strike gold in the 1500 metres.
Athletics NZ High Performance Director Scott Newman says this is a good foundation ahead of the upcoming Olympics.
"To come through here with four medals at a World Indoor Championships- that's just a great base heading into the Olympics."
