Don’t blink or you’ll miss it, the pinnacle event of the Athletics, the fastest man in the world will be crowned in the Men’s 100m Final. Looking to book their spot in the great race will be reigning world champion, USA’s Noah Lyles, alongside Kishane Thompson and Oblique Seville of Jamaica. Tokyo 2020 gold medalist, Italy’s Lamont Marcell Jacobs, will be fighting to defend his title, and if he does he will only be the third to join the elite club alongside the greats of Usain Bolt and Carl Lewis.
Australia’s hopes in the Women’s High Jump Final rest with Tokyo 2020 silver medalist Nicola Olyslagers and Eleanor Patterson.
Australia’s fastest woman Torrie Lewis will lead the day session of the Athletics when she makes her Olympic Games debut in Round 1 of the Women’s 200m alongside Mia Gross.
It’s the final day in the pool, and a relay duel will cap off one of the most successful swimming campaigns for an Australian Dolphins team ever, when our Men’s & Women’s 4x100m Medley Relay teams and Women’s 50m Freestyle sprinters fight hard. Our women’s team are the defending champions and have not missed a medal in this event since 1992.
The final round of Men’s Golf tees off with Australia’s Jason Day and Min Woo Lee in a field of some of the best golfers in the world including Jon Rahm (Spain), Xander Schauffele (USA), Rory McIlroy (Ireland) and Tommy Fleetwood (Great Britain).
