Tokyo Olympics Day 10: Opals pull off 'crazy' miracle
The Opals have somehow qualified for the Tokyo Olympics quarter-finals following a dramatic contest against Puerto Rico.
On Day 10 of the Tokyo Olympics, the Hockeyroos were sensationally knocked out after suffering a shock 1-0 loss to world No. 9 India.
The Hockeyroos are ranked second in the world but couldn't find an equaliser after conceding in the 22nd minute of their quarterfinal clash.
Our women's hockey team was a gold medal contender and breezed through the group stage with five consecutive wins, but faltered in its first knockout match.
With the incredible success enjoyed by our swimmers in the pool, action turned to our athletics runners, who have already made their mark on the world stage.
But Australians Steve Solomon and Riley Day narrowly missed out on qualifying for the finals of their respective events on the athletics track.
The Matildas took on Sweden in a must-win semi-final on Monday evening, but a heartbreaking 1-0 loss meant the Aussies will be fighting for bronze later this week.
And the Opals kept their Olympic campaign alive with a miraculous victory over Puerto Rico.
Meanwhile, New Zealand weightlifter Laurel Hubbard made history as the first openly transgender Olympian.
