If Kaylee McKeown wins the 200m backstroke final,she will have more individual gold medals than any Australian Olympian in history.
On day three,Ariarne Titmus and Mollie O’Callaghan were rivals. Now,together,they’re gold medal winners. Meanwhile,a gender storm engulfed boxing and Simone Biles won another gold.
The deceptively simple feat of Australia’s celebrated relay team is that they lived up to expectations.
Away from celebrities in the stands,execs on their jollies and plenty of world-class sport,there are some pretty serious moral questions being raised at these Games.
Breaking down exactly how Mollie O’Callaghan,Lani Pallister,Brianna Throssell and Ariarne Titmus swam the fastest 4x200m relay in Olympic Games history.
The team of Mollie O’Callaghan,Lani Pallister,Brianna Throssell and Ariarne Titmus brought it home for the Dolphins’ fifth gold medal in Paris.
Australia are winning gold,but few world records are being set. Paris’ unusually shallow pool might be to blame.
Kyle Chalmers powered home in the 100m and Mollie O’Callaghan missed the podium on a night belonging to a young French star. The Matildas lost. Fox won gold again.
In the pursuit of making these Games as green as possible,Paris organisers have forgotten why we’re all here.
To understand the noise beneath the roof of the Paris swimming stadium,you need to think back to what it was like when Ian Thorpe dived into the Sydney Olympic pool.
Mollie O’Callaghan is a swimmer possessed by intense,nervous energy. It helped her beat Ariarne Titmus. Two days later,it was gone.
