Kaylee McKeown and Ariarne Titmus can do no wrong in the Paris pool - but that certainly wasn’t the case for one American.

Thanks for following news.com.au’s live coverage of day eight of the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

Australia won another gold medal overnight as our men’s doubles tennis team delivered. Grae Morris also grabbed silver in windsurfing.

By morning we were back at the pool - and that meant more medals for Kaylee McKeown and Ariarne Titmus. But not without some controversy.

Australia is still punching above its weight on the medal tally, sitting fourth overall with 12 golds. Our best ever result is 17 golds in Tokyo and Athens.
