ATHLETICS: The Australian athletics team is producing plenty of fantastic performances in Tokyo. Tuesday is gearing up as the most exciting yet for the green and gold. From the 13 athletes in action on Tuesday we have Australian Record Holders, a World Champion, Commonwealth Champions and the next generation of stars all on show.

One of the most highly anticipated events on the schedule, the men's 1500m, will start the day on Tuesday. And in the field, Kurtis Marschall will compete for gold in the men's pole vault and our javelin women will compete for spots in the final.
