Peter Bol breaks Australian Record

Australian athletes have had a fantastic morning at the Olympic Stadium.

Peter Bol broke the Australian Record in the 800m heats, with Jeff Riseley and Charlie Hunter also progressing to the semi-final.

Kurtis Marschall progressed to his second Olympic pole vault final and Liz Clay on debut is through to the semi-finals of the 100m hurdles. Sadly, Dani Stevens just fell short of progressing to another Olympic final, but it was a phenomenal effort for her to be back throwing after a serious injury.
