Brother Max could only manage 7th in the men's.

He outscored (or equalled) the Top 6 in swimming, showjumping, and running/shooting, but lost big points in fencing.

Very unlucky. Clear at 2.35m normally means a medal.

Super Bol tonight!

Still 2nd with 2 events to go

Moloney not that strong in Javelin, but still sitting 3rd after 9 events I think.

Gets the bronze with Aussie teammate Cedric Dubler guiding him home through the 1500m. What a champ!

Kelsey-Lee Barber 3rd in Javelin.

McDermott Silver in the High Jump with a National Record of 2.02
