New Zealand's first individual gold medal was won in 1928. Boxer Ted Morgan won gold in the welterweight class at the Amsterdam Olympics. Morgan took first prize as a virtual unknown and fought under the handicap of a dislocated little finger.

The Olympic gold medal is awarded for coming first in an Olympic event. It looks like a small golden circle.
The New Zealander who competed in the 3000m individual pursuit cycling event at the Athens 2004 Olympics was Sarah Ulmer. She won the gold medal in this event, becoming the first New Zealand woman to win an Olympic gold in cycling. Her victory was notable for her impressive time of 3:30.00, setting a new Olympic record.

The gold medal is an award given to the first place winners in Olympic events. The most recent Olympics in China followed in this tradition.
