The Australian team has made a flying start to the Paris Olympics, winning three golds in the pool and on the road to sit atop the medals table.
Ariarne Titmus turned swimming's race of the century into a glorious golden personal procession while Australia's women's 4x100m freestyle relayers stretched their dominance in the event to a fourth Olympics in the opening day of the Paris Games. In her hyped final, Titmus blitzed her rivals, American legend Katie Ledecky, who finished third, and Canadian teen Summer McIntosh, who placed second.
Elijah Winnington won the silver in men's 400m freestyle swimming, and in men's 4x100m freestyle relay Kyle Chalmers hoisted the men's squad also including Jack Cartwright, Flynn Southam and Kai Taylor to silver behind Team USA. In men's rugby sevens, cheered on by a packed house at the Stade de France, Les Bleus became the first team ever to beat two-time defending champions Fiji at Olympic level.
