Australia claimed more medals on day 14 of the Olympics and while none of them were gold, there was plenty to cheer about.

Our beach volleyball duo of Taliqua Clancy and Mariafe Artacho del Solar were unfortunately outclassed in their gold medal match against the United States but can hold their heads high.

Meanwhile, Australia's last remaining boxing hope Harry Garside put in a massive effort against World No. 1 lightweight amateur Andy Cruz but was beaten in a one-sided contest. However, Garside will still come home with some bronze bling.

Kelsey-Lee Barber, our world champion javelin thrower, claimed bronze with a sensational performance in the final that reduced her to tears

Italy then capped off the night by stunning the world with an incredible finish to win the men's 4x100m relay.
