Tokyo Olympics day 5: 'Right hand of God' leaves Australia in ruins

The Olyroos have been sensationally dumped from the Olympics, with Aussie fans left devastated by the brutal blow.

Australia equalled its most successful Olympic day ever on day five, raking in seven medals including three gold.

You can follow our live coverage of day six here.

In rowing, our Women's Four and Men's Four teams both won gold, although the latter wasn't without drama, and Ariarne Titmus followed up her unforgettable triumph in the 400m freestyle with the 200m freestyle title too. We also had four bronze medals with our Men's 4x200m freestyle relay team, our Women's and Men's Quadruple Sculls teams and Rohan Dennis in the road cycling time trial all standing on the podium.

The Boomers, Hockeyroos and Kookaburras claimed another win each, but it was curtains for the Olyroos who were knocked out by Egypt's 'right hand of God'.

Thanks for watching an incredible day of Olympic action with us and we're already looking forward to continuing the medal rush on Thursday.
