Australia faced heartbreak across multiple Olympic events in Paris. The Matildas need strategic changes to stand a chance against the USA after barely surviving against Zambia. The men's rugby sevens team narrowly missed a bronze medal, losing 26-19 to South Africa due to a controversial red card and a last-minute try. Divers Maddison Keeney and Anabelle Smith, in third place before their final dive, missed out on a medal after Smith slipped, leading to a disastrous score. Despite their efforts, the divers were left devastated but philosophical about the nature of the sport.
