What you missed while you were sleeping
Welcome back
Paris is sleeping off another golden night of Games action, but a new day of drama is just about to dawn.
The pool action may dry up after tonight, but there’s still plenty to get excited about for those of you wanting to cheer on our Aussie athletes. Jason Day (golf), Torrie Lewis (200m sprint), Nicola Olyslagers and Eleanor Patterson (both high jump) are some of the big names in action. On the teams front, the Stingers and Kookaburras are taking on Hungary and the Netherlands in the women’s water polo and men’s hockey respectively.
There’s also the small matter of finding out who the world’s fastest man is, as well as a Wimbledon final rematch between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz.
