Despite the dreary skies and soggy sands at the Eiffel Tower Stadium, the Australian duo started strong in front of the loud and vibrant crowd, before the Australians found themselves in a tough battle. 

They dropped their first set point before using their experience to swing the set in their favour and take the match.

Meanwhile Mark Nicolaidis and Izac Carracher faced world number one pair from Sweden David Åhman and Jonatan Hellvig, falling in straight sets 21-14, 21-19 despite a strong opening.

It is Australian cycling’s first ever Olympic medal in a women’s Individual Time Trial and the nation’s first gold medal on the road since 2004.

Brown, who was denied a medal in Tokyo in 2021 by just seven seconds, was met at the finish line by Australia’s Chef de Mission Anna Meares who was the last Australian women’s cyclist to win gold in 2012.

In the men’s race, unfortunately Lucas Plapp crashed in the wet conditions and was unable to finish the race.

Rose, who recently recovered from a serious riding accident, is back in the saddle for the Games. 

"I feel great. I'm at the Olympic Games, and the fact that I was injured is irrelevant now. I'm here to do a job. My job is to do the best I can for the team," Shane said.

Hockey: Triple Olympian Blake Govers has propelled the Australian Men’s Hockey Team to a gritty 1-0 win over Argentina in their opening match of the Paris 2024 Olympics.

"We’re in a good place, and I’m glad to get the first win out of the way, and onto the next game,” Blake said.

Judo: Joshua Katz says he is disappointed his Paris Olympic judo campaign is over after the opening day, but it won’t diminish the incredible effort it took just to make it to his second Games.

The 26-year-old was eliminated by Italian Andrea Carlino in the men’s 60kg event at Champ-de-Mars Arena, which came eight years after his Olympic debut in Rio.

He missed the Tokyo Games, suffered a broken leg and had shoulder surgery in 2022 and 2023, and a knee injury at the start of this year threatened to derail his bid for Paris.

Shooting: Australian shooter Elena Galiabovitch shot 564 in qualification in the women’s 10m Air Pistol and finished in 37th place, with only the top eight progressing to the final.

With one hour and 15 minutes the allocated time in the event, Elena ran the clock down, taking her 60th and final shot with just 97 seconds to go.

“I was the first Aussie from the shooting team to compete and I felt the support of the whole team, and from everyone back home. I was also very fortunate to have my mum watching on in the stands,” she said.

Skateboarding: Due to weather conditions, the Men’s Street Event was rescheduled to 29 July.

The loss in the Round of 16 bracket sees them out of the tournament, with both Min Hyung and Nicholas now turning their focus to the women’s and men’s Singles respectively.

“I was enjoying myself out there and it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity, so I’m just here to soak it all up,” Nicholas said.
