Artistic Gymnastics: The Australian Women’s Artistic Gymnastics Team left it all out on the competition floor in Paris on Sunday, falling just short of qualifying through to the Team Final.

Finishing 10th with a final score of 158.964, the team missed out on qualification by the smallest of margins, only 0.533 points off eighth place finishers, Romania.

Competing in the last subdivision of the day, and with four action-packed sessions preceding their arrival, the Aussie contingent nonetheless put on a show in front of a raucous Bercy Arena.

Ruby Pass, the youngest member of the team at just 17, secured her place in the women’s Individual All-Around Final, finishing with a score of 53.866 to see her back in action later this week.

Canoe/Kayak Slalom: Jessica Fox has rewritten the history books several times in her illustrious career, yet her gold medal performance in the Canoe Slalom K1 Final at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games was, as the French would say, ‘extraordinaire’.

Jess now has five individual medals, after her Canoe gold in Tokyo. She joins Ian Thorpe, Leisel Jones, Shirley Strickland and Anna Meares, as the only Australians to achieve this.

She stands alone as the only Australian to win four consecutive medals in the same event. Only Anna Meares has also won an individual medal at four consecutive Games (although in different events).

Cycling - Mountain Bike: Australian Mountain Bike rider Rebecca Henderson has signed off from her fourth Olympics with a career-best Games result in Paris.

After placing 25th, 25th and 28th in her three previous Olympics in London, Rio and Tokyo, Rebecca produced a stellar ride to finish 13th in the cross country mountain bike race at Elancourt Hill in the time of 1hr 32mins 44secs.

The race was won by French rider Pauline Ferrand Prevot who was almost three minutes faster than her nearest rivals. American Hayley Batten and Sweden's Jenny Rissveds who completed the podium.

Equestrian: It was a day of mixed emotions for the Australian Equestrian Team in the cross-country phase of the Eventing competition. Christopher Burton flew around the course to finish clear and inside the time, while Kevin McNab was forced to withdraw following an injury to his horse.

Set against the spectacular backdrop of the Château de Versailles, the ride keeps Christopher and his horse Shadow Man in third position ahead of Monday’s jumping phase.

Unfortunately, Kevin did not complete the cross-country phase and elected to retire his horse, Don Quidam, on course, in the horse's best interest and following assessment by the Australian team veterinarian. The horse is undergoing treatment and is expected to make a full recovery.

Reserve athlete Shenae Lowings will step into the team position to complete the final jumping phase riding Bold Venture.

Football: The Matildas have staged a nail-biting second-half comeback to defeat Zambia 6-5 in a pulsating match at the Stade de Nice.

Michelle Heyman came off the bench to score the 90th minute match winner in an 11-goal thriller, giving Australia the crucial three points in Group B.

Coach Tony Gustavsson made one change from the team that played Germany, with Emily van Egmond replacing Cortnee Vine in the starting lineup.

Hockey: The Australian Women’s Hockey team have edged past a relentless South African side to open their Paris 2024 campaign with a 2-1 win.

Australia head coach Katrina Powell forecast the match to be a tough, unpredictable opening affair given it was the first time the two sides had met in two years.

The Hockeyroos have won their last four matches since 2014, the most recent at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games where Australia claimed a 5-0 victory.

But the Hockeyroos lined up with almost half their side making an Olympic debut, and South Africa were similar, adding mystery to the match.

South Africa had come out firing, catching Australia’s defence wide open and consistently seeking a moment to strike.

Rowing: Australian rowers Jess Morrison and Annabelle McIntyre have progressed to the semi-finals of the women’s pairs by setting the fastest time in the heats in Marseille.

In the men’s pairs, Patrick Holt and Simon Keenan finished fourth in their heat and will race in the repechage on 29 July at 4.20pm AEST.

Olympia Aldersey, Jean Mitchell, Lily Alton and Molly Goodman were fourth in their heat of the women's fours and will also race the next round repechage on 30 July at 7.30pm AEST.

The Men's Fours of Timothy Masters, Jack Robertson, Fergus Hamilton and Alex Hill are straight through to the A Final on 1 August 8.10pm AEST after finishing second in their heat behind the US.

Rugby Sevens: Australia’s women’s Rugby Sevens team has made the perfect start to its Paris Games by beating South Africa and Great Britain as they charge towards the quarter-finals.

Led by the Levi sisters Maddison and Teagan, who combined for 10 tries in two games, Australia beat South Africa 34-5 and then Great Britain 36-5 at Stade de France on the opening day of the tournament.

Maddison scored a first-half hat-trick on her way to four tries against South Africa, then followed up with another three against GB.

Sailing: The first day of the Olympic sailing competition was marred by long delays and intense heat, creating a challenging environment for athletes competing in the South of France.

Making her Olympic debut, Evie Haseldine, alongside her teammate and Olympic silver medallist Olivia Price, faced the light and unpredictable conditions head-on in the 49erFX class.

The duo managed to secure sixth, eighth and 16th place finishes across the three races, placing them in seventh overall.

The Men’s Skiff class, represented by Jim Colley and Shaun Connor, also faced their share of challenges.

Departing the dock at 12.30pm local time (8.30pm AEST), they managed to complete one race before enduring a two-hour wait on the water before racing recommenced, completing two more races late into the afternoon.

Windsurfing was cancelled due to a lack of wind.

Shooting: Dual Olympian shooter Jack Rossiter has finished in 16th place in the Men’s 10m Air Rifle to claim the best result in Australian Olympic history.

The 27-year-old shot a qualification score of 628.5 in the first event of the Paris 2024 Olympic Shooting program at the Chateauroux Shooting Centre.

His teammate Dane Sampson, who is competing at his fourth consecutive Olympic Games, shot a qualification score of 626.9, and finished in 30th place.

Australia has competed in the men's 10m air rifle at every Olympics. 

Skateboarding: Chloe Covell wrapped up her Olympic campaign in a tough final, finishing eighth in the Street event in front of a boisterous Paris crowd.

The 14-year-old qualified fourth for the final with two solid runs.But despite her best efforts, it wasn’t meant to be as the tenacious and talented teenager struggled to land complex runs in the final, scoring 70.33 points.

Haylie Powell and Liv Lovelace weren’t able to progress past the preliminary round, finishing in 20th and 21st respectively.

Surfing: The host nation secured a win in the Women’s Surfing with Molly Picklum bowing out to Johanne Defay (FRA) in the second round.

The Central Coast surfer scored 7.42 from her best wave but wasn’t able to match the finesse of the French athlete who notched 11.83 to take the heat.

“At the end of the day I'm really understanding of my sport and what I do. The waves sometimes don't play the part, unfortunately at the end the waves can come,” Molly said.

“We feel so lucky. Surfing Australia and the Olympic Committee have let us be a team within also an individual sport.

“We've had times where we can be our individual but then also be a part of a team. Aussies love to hang around and talk, it's always a bonding experience hanging around Aussies in Tahiti.”

Swimming: Dolphins rookie Max Giuliani vowed to empty the tank in the final of the 200m Freestyle after qualifying fifth-fastest with a time of 1:45.37. Fellow Australian Thomas Neill touched the wall in 1:46.48, leaving him two spots outside the final.

Night one golden girls Ariarne Titmus and Mollie O’Callaghan provided a taster of what shapes as an epic 200m Freestyle final on Monday, with Ariarne (1:54.64) just holding off a surging Mollie (1:54.7) to win their semi-final.

They were the only pair to break 1:55 and it could be another match race between the Australians, who between them own the Olympic title, world title and world record.

Emma McKeon, who had hoped to medal in her final individual event the 100m Butterfly, finished seventh in the final with a time of 56.93. American pair Torri Huske and Gretchen Walsh went one-two, ahead of Zhang Yufei of China.

Tennis: Day Two at Roland Garros saw Alexei Popyrin make his Olympic debut in style, with the world number 46 defeating number 16 seed Nicolas Jarry (CHI) in the men’s singles 6-3, 7-6.

Ajla Tomljanovic, Australia’s only representative in women’s singles, went down to world number two Coco Gauff (USA) 6-3, 6-0.

Matt Ebden and three-time Olympian John Peers opened their men’s doubles campaign with a win, defeating Lebanon’s Hady Habib and Benjamin Hassan 7-6, 6-2.

Water Polo: The Aussie Sharks have gone down fighting in their opening game of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games to European champions Spain, 9-5.

It was a battle from start to finish for the Aussie Sharks, with six players making their Olympic debut at the Paris Aquatic Centre.

Angus Lambie scored back-to-back goals in the second quarter, the Aussie Sharks trailing 3-5 at the half time break.

Jacob Mercep added his name to the scoresheet in the third quarter, before Maksimovic scored his second in the last quarter. But it wasn’t enough to hold off the World Championship bronze medalists, going down by four.
