Australia's world-title winning rugby sevens team has beaten New Zealand to win gold for Australia.
The Australian women won the first ever women's Olympic rugby sevens title 24-17 in a rough and hard-fought match against their traditional rivals.
The top-seeded Australians bounced back from a below-par day two to produce a dominant display in the semi-final at Deodoro Stadium which never gave the Canadians a sniff.
Cycling
An Australian track cyclist has been taken to hospital as a precaution after a nasty crash at the Rio Olympic Velodrome.
Melissa Hoskins was taken off the track on a stretcher after the women's team pursuit crashed at race speed during a training session.
The Australian Olmypic Committee said Ashlee Ankudinoff, Georgia Baker and Amy Cure were able to walk off the track and were being treated for friction burns and bruises.
Annette Edmondson was leading the team and was able to stay on her bike.
The AOC said Hoskins has been taken to hospital as a precaution and an update on her condition would be provided when it was available.
