Following its best-ever Olympic medal day, Australia picks up silver and bronze in the river and the ring.
While there were no gold medals for Australia on day 13 of the Games, Australian athletes enjoyed some successes, with silver and bronze medals on the water and and in the boxing ring. Australian Moesha Johnson has taken home silver in the women's 10km marathon swim. Johnson celebrated the swim, which took place in the Seine after the swim test was cancelled earlier this week over water quality concerns, with a Coca Cola and a dose of antibiotics.
Charlie Senior has lost his boxing semi-final to Abdumalik Khalokov, but will still claim a rare boxing bronze for Australia in Paris. Australia's Caitlin Parker has also secured a bronze medal after she was defeated 5-0 in Friday morning's semi-final with Li Qian of China. Jessica Hull is through to the women's 1500m final, with a chance at claiming another athletics gold medal for Australia.
