Australia Shines on Day 12 of Paris Olympics

Day 12 of the Paris 2024 Olympics saw Australia dominate with four gold medals across diverse disciplines, setting a new personal record and solidifying their third-place position in the medal tally. Concerns over water quality in the Seine caused the cancellation of a marathon familiarisation session, but World Aquatics remains optimistic about the upcoming marathon swimming events. Japan's Shinnosuke Oka won gold in the men's horizontal bar, narrowly beating Colombia's Angel Barajas, who claimed his country's first gymnastics medal. China's Zou Jingyuan excelled once again in the parallel bars, adding to China's lead in gold medals. Meanwhile, Great Britain's showjumpers look to continue their success with strong contenders in individual events, and Laura Muir aims to upgrade her silver from Tokyo in the women's 1500m.
