Australian sailor Matt Wearn has gold in sight and diver Melissa Wu hunts a third medal while the Stingers and the Boomers line up for quarter-finals.
With 16 gold medals up for grabs on day 11 of the Paris Olympics, Australian athletes including sailor Matt Wearn, divers Melissa Wu and Ellie Cole and track star Jessica Hull are all eyeing gold. Tokyo champion Wearn is guaranteed a gold or silver medal in the men's dinghy competition after the final races were scrapped due to poor weather conditions. He races from 11.45pm AEST on Tuesday.
Australian track athletes Jessica Hull, Georgia Griffiths and three-time Olympian Linden Hall are set to compete in the women's 1500m. Australia has never won a medal in the women's 1500m event but there are hopes Hull will break that drought after besting the Australian record this year by five seconds. In the repechage events, Tayleb Willis will compete in the 110m hurdles, Ellie Beer in the 400m and Calab Law in the 200m.
