Artistic Swimming 

The duet free routine will close out Artistic Swimming Olympic competition with Aussie pair Rayne Buckle and Keria Gazzard set for their final performance.

After a successful technical routine, they are looking to wow the Paris crowd with skills and finesse. 

The score from the technical and free will be combined for their overall result. The Australian’s best ever result in the duet was 13th in 1984. The team in Tokyo finished 20th.  

Athletics 

The day starts with Patrick Tiernan, Liam Adams and Andrew Buchanan racing the Men’s Marathon at 4pm AEST. Andrew was a late call-up to make his Olympic debut for the injured Brett Robinson. 

Patrick will race his first Olympic marathon, having been a track runner in Rio and Tokyo. This will be Liam’s third Olympic marathon, where he’ll be aiming to improve on his 24th in Tokyo.   

In the final track session at Stade de France, Australia has strong medal chances. Mackenzie Little, ranked number two in the world and Australian record holder Kathryn Mitchell throw in the Javelin final from 3:40am AEST. 

Stewart McSweyn races the 5000m Final at 4am AEST. It is a 22-man final, with Stewy one of six athletes added to the final after falls and infringements in the heats.

Jessica Hull has looked superb all season, and in the rounds in Paris. This 1500m at 4:25am AEST is full of medal contenders and Jess is one of them. No Australian has ever won a medal in this event at the Olympics.

Breaking 

Jeff Dunne becomes the first Australian male breaker in Olympic history as he competes in the B-Boy competition at the Place de la Concorde.

Jeff will be among the youngest athletes to represent Australia at the Paris Olympics, and cemented his place in Paris when he won gold at the Oceania Breaking Championships at Sydney Town Hall in November 2023.

Competing as J Attack, Jeff prevailed over 37 other contenders from Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, Fiji and Australia.

The B-Boys competition opens with a Pre-Qualifier Battle at 12am AEST.

Canoe Sprint 

To round out their Paris campaign, kayakers Alyce Wood and Tom Green will be back on the water for the women’s and men’s K1 events.

Three-time Olympian Alyce will have her Olympian husband Jordan and daughter Florence cheering her from the banks in her final.

For Tom, who cruised through his opening heat, the event comes just 24 hours after he teamed up with Jean van der Westhuyzen to win the bronze medal in the K2 500.

The gold medal race in the K1 500 for women and K1 1000 for men will be held at 9pm and 9.20pm AEST respectively.

Track Cycling

Still on a high from his bronze medal in the Team Sprint, Matthew Glaetzer returns to the velodrome tonight for the Men’s Keirin with the first round from 1.20am AEST on 11 August.

Matt is at his fourth Games and is the most experienced track cyclist on the team, particularly in the Keirin where he has raced the Japanese Keirin series.

Gold medallists in the Team Pursuit, Kelland O’Brien and Sam Welsford, are also lining up in the Men’s Madison at 2am AEST.

Diving 

Cassiel Rousseau and Jaxon Bowshire return to the pool for the Men’s 10m Platform semi-final, aiming to finish in the top eight to book their tickets for the final. Cassiel, the 2023 World Champion in the event, will aim to replicate that success yet again, while Jaxon will push for a higher finish than in qualification in order to secure his spot.

The semi-final begins at 6pm AEST while the final, pending qualification, gets underway at 11pm AEST.

Golf 

West Australian Hannah Green will carry Australia’s hopes of a maiden golf medal when the Women’s competition concludes at Le Golf National.

Hannah produced the low round of Round 3 with a superb 6-under 66 to climb 18 spots into a tie for 11th, six shots back of joint leaders Lydia Ko of New Zealand and Switzerland’s Morgane Metraux who both sit at 9-under.

They have a lead of two strokes from American Rose Zhang and Japan’s Miyu Yamashita, Hannah needing to make up a deficit of four shots to enter medal calculations.

The task would seem too great for Hannah’s Aussie teammate in Minjee Lee, Minjee even par through three rounds and nine strokes off the lead.

Minjee is the first of the Aussies out on Saturday at 7:17pm AEST with Hannah to tee off in the fourth-to-last group at 12:06pm 8:06pm.

Modern Pentathlon 

Genevieve van Rensburg takes to the stunning Chateau de Versailles for the semi-finals of the women’s Individual competition.

The 20-year-old Olympic debutant currently sits in 13th place after a strong performance in the opening fencing ranking round.

The semi-finals consist of two Riding Show Jumping rounds, two Fencing Bonus Rounds, two Swimming 200m Freestyle Rounds and two Laser Runs which mix both running and shooting.

The opening Riding Show Jumping round begins at 5.30pm AEST.

Sport Climbing

Australia’s greatest sports climber Oceania Mackenzie will tackle a new set of challenges in the Women’s Bolder & Lead Olympic final.

Medals will be up for grabs with the Victorian facing the Bolder in the morning session, where she is required to “get up the wall” and “solve the problem” to an attempt to score maximum points.

In the Lead, she has six minutes to climb the 15m wall with the combined total of both events determining the winner. Competition starts at 6.30pm AEST.

Water Polo

Australia is poised to create water polo history when they face world number one Spain in the women’s gold medal match at 11.35pm AEST.

Australia has won two bronze medals in 2008 and 2012, but it is 24 years since they defeated the USA in the last second of the game to claim Olympic gold.

The Stingers trust that belief will ensure they bring their best when they face world number one Spain in the final at the 15000-seat La Defense Arena.

The team secured the opportunity by defeating three-time Olympic champion the United States in a thrilling semi-final penalty shootout to advance to the medal round.

Australia last topped the medal dais when the sport made its debut at the Sydney Games after a bold lobbying campaign to have a women’s event included alongside the men.

Weightlifting 

Australian weightlifting coach Paul Coffa has predicted Australian Eileen Cikamatana will win the Olympic gold medal at the Paris Olympic Games.

The seasoned coach, who is attending his 10th Games, is adamant the Fijian-born 24-year-old has the ability to mix it with the world’s best lifters in the +81kg category in Paris.

Coffa, 80, spent 26-years transforming the South Pacific into a powerhouse weightlifting region through the Oceania Weightlifting Institute he ran with his wife Lily and was the first coach to be inducted in the IWF Hall of Fame. He received that honour on the day Cikamatana won two medals at the 2022 World Championships in Bogota.

Coffa sees something special in Eileen who at age 11 was carting 50kg bags of animal feed on the family’s farm near Levuka, Fiji’s original capital on the island of Ovalau.

“There’s nothing in my mind but gold,” Coffa said of her chances.

Wrestling 

Georgii Okorokov will line up in the 65kg freestyle against Sebastian C Rivera of Puerto Rico in the 1/8 final.

The 27-year-old's impressive resume includes finishing tenth at the 2022 World Championships and winning the 2023 and 2024 Oceania Championships.

Teammate Jayden Lawrence is predicting big things for Georgii.

“He is one of the most talented athletes we have in Australia,” Jayden said. 

“I’m so glad he's on our team. He's going to do really well in Paris.”
