Australia have starred in the pool across the first week with Kaylee McKeown and Ariarne Titmus among those to claim individual gold medals, and the swimming greats will be out to add to their collection on day eight at Paris 2024.

The Rowsellas are into three rowing finals with Tara Rigney in the single sculls, and both the women’s and men’s eight having a shot at a medal.

The men’s cycling team will hit the road for a 272km race with Michael Matthews among the medal contenders and Ben O’Connor getting a late call up in place of the injured Lucas Plapp.

Australia’s Jack Robinson is down to the last four in men’s surfing in Tahiti, Grae Morris is into the windsurfing final, and tennis duo Matthew Ebden and John Peers are one win away from gold.
