Australia has a new golden boy of swimming, after 18 year old Kyle Chalmers upstaged Cameron McEvoy to win gold in the 100 metres final at the Rio Olympics. The men's quad scull crew came in a narrow second to Germany in their final to claim our first rowing medal, with Estonia third. And canoe slalom queen Jessica Fox added to Australia's medal haul with a bronze after being given a two-second penalty for hitting a gate which resulted in her slipping from second to third behind Spain and New Zealand.
