Australia’s Kiana Elliott is hoping to hold onto her early advantage, leading the women’s 64kg weightlifting competition after the completion of group B. Wright beat Brazilian Gabriel Medina, the world’s no.1 ranked surfer, with 11.97 to 11.77 to claim the win. “Mate, my heart was beating SO hard! And I was taking wave after wave on the head. The conditions of crazy. I just stayed focused. That’s what Bede and I spoke about, it’s just about executing the plan we had.“Look I’m really proud to be representing all of Australia, representing my family, my kids, my wife. And then also, you know, on a really personal level is all the TBI survivors out there, the team that have had bad brain injuries. It’s all possible. Don’t give up.
“And... I had the best time out there. I tried my hardest. It wasn’t my day. Yeah. It is so hard. My heart is just shattered. “To my family, I just wasn’t to say thank you so much. Thanks for the sacrifices. And thanks for just being in my corner all the way. My surfed every way out there for you there. Thank you so much, everyone. Cheers.”Jian Fang Lay’s dream run in the women’s table tennis tournament has finally come to an end after a straight sets defeat to German 12th seed Han Ying.
Australia's Kiana Rose Elliott reacts during the women's 64kg weightlifting competition during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games at the Tokyo International Forum in Tokyo on July 27, 2021. Australia will have to do it the hard way, after setting up a date with Semi Radradra’s reigning Olympic champions Fiji in the quarterfinals on Tuesday evening at Tokyo Stadium.
For young gun Dietrich Roache, who is the quickest in the Australian side, it is a dream come true for a 20-year-old on debut in a major tournament as he comes up against Radradra, who he idolised growing up.“I’m a Parramatta Eels supporter, so I used to support him and now I’ll play him. He was at a loss to explain the result given just a month earlier he had swum nearly five seconds quicker at the Australian trials.“You don’t come to an Olympic Games and swim that slowly. I’ve got to figure out why that went so bad.
Kimmann is one of the favourites for the gold medal, competing against Aussie Anthony Dean but injured his knee in the incident.
