Video / TVNZAdams took up shot put only three years ago and has since won the world championship and now the Paralympic gold medal. Video / TVNZParalympics fans were left scrambling to witness history last night after only sporadic coverage of Lisa Adams winning a gold medal was broadcast on TVNZ's television feed. "Full athletics coverage would be available on TVNZ Duke on Freeview 13 | SKY 23, however TVNZ cannot guarantee the shot put event will be shown." TVNZ is the sole local-broadcaster of the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics and is reliant on a television feed provided by the International Paralympic Committee.
