Tokyo Olympics Day 6: Concerns for 'absolutely buggered' Aussie champion

Ariarne Titmus has qualified for yet another Tokyo Olympics final, but the Australian champion has made a worrying confession.

Australia won one gold, one silver and one bronze in the pool on Thursday - but our women were left shell shocked in the 4x200m freestyle relay final after China smashed out a world record.

Led by 200m freestyle Olympic champion Ariarne Titmus, Australia was the red-hot favourite to win another gold in the relay – but instead they trailed the entire race to collect the bronze medal.

In better news, Izaac Stubblety-Cook won the Men's 200m breaststroke final. It is the first time Australia has won the event since 1964.

And, in the 100m freestyle final, Kyle Chalmers came within 0.06 of defending his Rio title with a fast-finishing second behind American gun Caeleb Dressel.

Jess Fox secured her first Olympic gold medal in the women's canoe slalom final after using a condom for some running repairs earlier in the day. She missed out on gold in heartbreaking fashion earlier this week but redeemed herself this afternoon.
