Wednesday will go down as one of the greatest days in Australia’s Olympics history, as Matt Wearn, Keegan Palmer, the men’s track cycling pursuit team and Nina Kennedy all won gold. The six-medal haul – easily Australia’s best for a single Olympic day – took the team to a total of 18 gold medals (with 12 silvers and 11 bronze for a total of 41) – the best return in the country’s history at the Games.
