From First Up, 5:22 am on 14 July 2021

Australia's loss is New Zealand's gain after cyclist Jordan Kerby changed allegiances and now is heading to the Tokyo Olmpics wearing the silver fern. 28-year old Jordan Kerby was born in Australia, but lucky for him his mother is a New Zealander and he had dual citizenship. After a promising early career on the track, he was told he wasn't in contention for Australia's team for Tokyo and that's when he started to look across the Tasman. He told our reporter, Andrew McRae that it's something he's never regretted.
