Another fantastic day for Oz. Highest amount of golds ever in a single day. McKeon has now won 11 Olympic medals including an incredible 7 in Tokyo. I think only 1 other woman has ever won 11 Olympic medals

Wow...Just watched the BMX Freestyle.
Charlotte Worthington has the gold medal.
The very definition of go big or go home. Just do a trick that has never been done before by a woman in competition...in the Olympic final...crash it in the first run...and then keep it in for the second run.

Incredible run to land a backflip into blackflip 360 (never done before), 360 into front flip and then finish with a flare.

Blistering race from Elaine Thompson-Herah to take the Gold plus a new Olympic record....her team mates didn’t look too impressed though.
Apparently there is a source of tension there.

I miss Setanta....
Magic race at the 400 m hurdles today, and a sensational new world record for our own, Karsten Warholm, 45.94! Silver and bronze faster than last year's world record too, and 6 national records of the 8 runners!

Unbelievable! A lot of athletes would struggle to run that fast on the flat!
