Amazing final relay leg from Kyle Chalmers in the 4x100m freestyle relay to grab us another bronze medal, mm away from a silver.

Looking in good stead for the mens 100m final.

Hockeyroos have just thumped China 6-0! 

Both our hockey teams are going to be worth keeping an eye on it seems.


John Millman has been knocked out of the tennis in the 2nd round, losing an entertaining 3 set match to World number 35, Davidovich.

Our mens Beach Volleyball team also had a loss today to the Russians, not playing anywhere near as well as they did the other night. They'll need to win their next match if they want to get through to the Round of 16.

Alija Tomiljanovic has suffered the same fate as John Millman losing a tough 3 set match to the Number 4 seed from Ukraine. A pretty good effort though. Ash Barty & Storm Sanders should have their 2nd round doubled match shortly.

Australia get a comfortable 42-5 win over South Korea in the Rugby 7's to get their campaign back on track.

Plus I'm mistaken that they need to beat NZ to advance to the Quarter Finals. I thought it was 4 groups of 4 with the top 2 progressing like in the soccer, but in fact it's 3 groups of 4 with the top two plus the two best 3rd place teams advancing. So keep it close against NZ tomorrow or win and a quarter final place should be on.

Sam Stosur & Perez have won their way through to the doubles quarter finals in the tennis. Fingers crossed they'll be joined there by Barty and Sanders.

Some good results tonight. Titmus & Madi Wilsoncomfortablyinto tomorrow morning's 200m Freestyle semi finals, our womens water polo team come from behind for an impressive win over Netherlands and Ash Barty/Storm Sanders win their way through to the Quarter Finals of the doubles in tennis.

Let's hope these good results continue with our Softballers on tonight.

Titmus was fantastic earlier. Our girls water polo team deserve a pat on the back, Great win. 

Well for the first time in Olympic history, we're not going to medal in the softball.

Beaten 4-1 by Mexico. Our inability to convert runners on base to runs is what's hurt us this Olympics.

To kick day 4 off with some good news, Aussie surfer Owen Wright has won his way through to the Semi Finals later on today!


Gold for Australia! Well done Kaylee McKeown on an Olympic record!

What a swim from Kaylee!!  Tactically perfect the way she swooped home

More Gold!!  Fantastic!

In some other positive morning news, the Kookubarras have beaten defending Olympic Champions Argentina 5-2 to continue their unbeaten run and are looking very good!

Our Rugby team have had a tough loss to New Zealand 14-12, but the two tight losses to go with a big win should be enough to get them through to the Quarter Finals. We'll just have to wait to see who they draw?

Owen Wright has narrowly lost his Semi Final, but will surf for bronze later on today.

A great performance from Owen Wright to claim bronze today! Come back from a brain injury and is now an Olympic medalist!

Thanks for all the updates TD ... much appreciated

The Bronze meant a lot to Owen judging by the celebrations.  Fierce competion so any medal is great reward

Jess Fox has qualified first in the K1 Canoe/Slalom to be run shortly so fingers crossed

By way of an update for all, I can confirm that the mens Rugby 7's team have made the Quarter Finals and their match tonight is againstthe defending Olympic Champions Fiji at 8pm tonight.

Poor Jess Fox has just missed out on gold by tapping the final gate on the Canoe Slalom which has given her a 2nd 2 second penalty dropping her from gold to bronze.

Well done on winning another bronze medal though!

So close hey ... such a fine line between winning and not winning.  Nerve racking sport to watch so I'm glad I was only listening in on audio!

But Jess can make amends on Thursday in the C1.  Anyway, I guess we had our hopes up but that's the roller-coaster of the Olympics

A Gold medal is damn hard to attain. They don't hand them out

Not wrong Macca. It would be harsh to say she choked, but I will say after having watched all of hers runs that the pressure certainly got to her. She'd been so dominant, so really feel for her.

But the good thing about sport is that you get a chance to amend, and as you say Macca, I have no doubt she'll be going he'll for leather come Thursday.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
