The Tokyo Games have drawn to a close, and the Aussie athletes should be immensely proud of their performance.

Australia won 17 gold medals in Tokyo, equalling the nation’s all-time record set at the Athens 2004 Games.

The United States topped the final medal tally, with China and Japan sitting in second and third spot on the ladder respectively.

Great Britain and the Russian Olympic Committee steamed ahead of Australia in the second week of competition once the swimming events drew to a close.

Australia subsequently finished sixth on the final medal tally, a feat they haven’t achieved since the 2008 Beijing Games.
