Extra Time for 20 April 2018

From Extra Time, 3:30 pm on 20 April 2018

We look at the Silver Ferns' dismal Commonwealth Games performance - and New Zealand's many other Games successes, including squash star Joelle King's three-medal haul.

After the Silver Ferns' dismal Commonwealth Games performance, Netball New Zealand will now conduct a review to be presented to the board in June. We get the views of Netball NZ's chief executive and a former player and coach.

There were, however, many great successes for Kiwi athletes on the Golf Coast and we hear from squash star Joelle King, who had had little time to bask in the glory of her three-medal haul.

We also reflect on the life of New Zealand speedway legend Ivan Mauger and Nelson cyclist George Bennett tells us about a very hairy moment he had in the Italian Alps this week.
