Tokyo Olympics live update: swimming gold for Australia’s McKeown and one-two finish for Team GB; women’s triathlon win for Bermuda

Sally Fitzgibbons has spoken to Seven about her quarter-final loss and says her “heart is shattered” after the most difficult defeat of her career.

“It hurts so bad … always remember being the first surfing Olympians. Hopefully just goes from strength to strength. Our sport’s here to stay. I am going to work really hard and hopefully see you all in 2024,” she said through tears. I hope all the young groms can pick up a board for the first time, go out there with a smile on their face and ride waves. It brings the most joy in life. Every day it puts a smile on my face.

“Everybody’s going through super tough times. So, love and hope, thanks everyone. Go the Aussies in the rest of Olympics. To my family, I just want to say thank you so much. Thanks for the sacrifices. And thanks for just being in my corner all the way. I surfed every wave out there for you there. Thank you so much.”

Ferreira is through. Wright just couldn’t get on a wave at the end there and because the Brazilian had priority he kept edging closer and closer to his opponent as a means of stopping Wright from claiming a wave and therefore defending his lead. That’s all she wrote for the Australians in the surfing. Ferreira will face Japan’s fifth seed Igarashi Kanoa for the gold medal. Wright will face Brazil’s Gabriel Medina for bronze. Action get under way in a little over an hour.

This will go down to the wire. Wright is on a wave and makes a backhand turn, slides the tail and then throws that tail as he lands. He starts paddling immediately out the back because he is running out of time. Ferreira, meanwhile, just had to wait it out. One minute to go. Needs 6.7.

The Australian cheer squad loved that. They are hollering from their armchairs. It is WINDY out there and the surf a little messy. Wright seems to be eager to complete his waves consistently, while Ferreira is going big every time. Ferreira is back on for his 10th wave, looks to lose control just a little before recovering, to earn a score of 6.67. Wright is now on his sixth wave and scores a 6.47. The Australian is under pressure and needs 6.70 with five minutes to go.

Wright has just made a flat 6.00 via a first snap that set up the second with was a lovely back-hand vertical re-entry. It brings both competitors equal on 11.00 with just under 12 minutes to go.

If Wright wins this, he will contest the final against Kanoa Igarashi after the Japanese saw off Brazilian great Gabriel Medina in a thriller of a semi.

Swimming: Kate Douglass (USA) wins the second semi-final of the women’s 200m IM. It’s a Great Britain 2-3 with Abbie Wood leading in Alicia Wilson.

The times mean Hosszu DOES sneak into the final in seventh place.

Surfing: The first men’s semi-final is absolutely unreal. Second seed Gabriel Medina (BRA) was flying, racking up 16.76 effortlessly. But just now fifth seed Igarashi Kanoa (JAP) found some incredible air to land a 9.33! He now leads with 17.00. Five minutes remaining.

Swimming: Alex Walsh (USA) wins the first women’s 200m IM semi from China’s Yiting Yu and Japan’s Jui Ohashi.

In her fifth Games, the Iron Lady Katinka Hosszu ended fifth and looks unlikely to reach the final.

Swimming: The last event in the pool tonight is the women’s 200m IM semis. In the first heat we have Hungarian legend Katinka Hosszu.

Rugby sevens: The men’s quarter-final line-up is now complete:

• New Zealand v Canada
• Great Britain v USA
• South Africa v Argentina
• Fiji v Australia

Surfing: The men’s semi-finals are underway. First up is Japanese fifth seed Igarashi Kanoa against Brazilian second seed Gabriel Medina.

In around half-an-hour from now it will be top-ranked Brazilian Italo Ferreira against Australian seventh seed Owen Wright.

Swimming: Hungary’s world record holder Kristóf Milák went out hard, kept going hard, and finished hard. He won by miles and will head to the final of the men’s 200m butterfly strong favourite. Leonardo de Deus (BRA) came in second, Federico Burdisso (ITA) third.

Milak’s 1.52.22 was nearly three seconds faster than any other semi-finalist.

Swimming: South Africa’s Chad Le Clos wins the first semi of the men’s 200m butterfly. He led from start to finish, but really tightened up in the final 40m, looking often to his left from lane eight. Tamás Kenderesi (HUN) came second, Honda Tomoru (JPN) third in a race that ended with seven swimmers separated by just 0.91 seconds.

Surfing: Sally Fitzgibbons is out, and Australia’s interest in the women’s surfing ends at the quarterfinal stage. Huge disappointment for Australian surfing with both Fitzgibbons and Stephanie Gilmore considered medal hopes before the Games.

Surfing: Fitzgibbons continues to trail Tsuzuki with just three minutes remaining.

Rugby Sevens: Good news for Australia with confirmation they have reached the quarter-finals as one of the best third-placed nations from the group phase. The bad news is they will face either New Zealand or Fiji at the start of the knockouts.

Surfing: Oh my. Fitzgibbons reclaimed the lead, only for Tsuzuki to snatch it straight back. The Australian is up against it with the Japanese ahead 13.27 v 11.67 with 13 minutes left in the heat.

Surfing: While that was going on, Australia’s Sally Fitzgibbons was overtaken in the fourth quarterfinal by Japan’s Amuro Tsuzuki. It’s currently 10.77 v 10.17 with 15 minutes of the heat remaining.

17-year-old Lydia Jacoby takes gold! The first Alaskan swimmer to win gold! Jacoby was in the mix throughout, alongside South Africa’s Tatjana Schoenmaker (silver) and Team USA’s Lilly King (bronze).

Swimming: Andy Bull was poolside for a stunning 200m freestyle 1-2 for Team GB.

Swimming: The next event in the pool is the women’s 100m breaststroke final. South Africa’s Tatjana Schoenmaker is up against Team USA’s Lydia Jacoby and Lilly King.

Surfing: Australian TV is now broadcasting Sally Fitzgibbons’ QF on both terrestrial channels. She has established an early lead over her Japanese opponent in what looks like the Humberside coast of the North Sea. It’s pretty tight though.

Surfing: Americans Caroline Marks and Carissa Moore are through to the semi-finals of the women’s surfing, alongside South Africa’s Bianca Buitendag.

Australia’s Sally Fitzgibbons is up next in the fourth quarterfinal against Japan’s Amuro Tsuzuki.

Swimming: Kieran Pender was poolside for Kaylee McKeown’s magnificent gold medal swim.

It’s an ROC one-two! Evgeny Rylov pinches gold from Kliment Kolesnikov (ROC) by 0.02, just a shade outside the world record. Ryan Murphy (USA) the defending champion and world and Olympic record holder could only manage third.

Aussie Mitch Larkin came in seventh.

Swimming: More gold. “What would you like to tell your mum and your sister?” Australian TV’s reporter asks Kaylee McKeown. “F*ck yeah!” McKeown replies. Bonza.

“It’s something I’ve always dreamed of,” she also said. “Thankfully I have a really good support team.”

Gold for the world record holder! Another stunning late run for gold. What an exciting meet this is becoming. Kylie Masse (CAN) took silver, Regan Smith (USA) bronze.

At the turn, previous world record holder Masse led from another previous world record holder Smith, but McKeown stormed past to touch first in a new Olympic record.

Emily Seebohm came in fifth, Great Britain’s Kathleen Dawson sixth.

Swimming: Stars galore next in the final of the women’s 100m backstroke. Australia’s recent world record breaker Kaylee McKeown, compatriot Emily Seebohm, previous world record holders Regan Smith (USA) and Kylie Masse (CAN), and considering their meet so far you can’t rule out Great Britain’s Kathleen Dawson.

One-two for Great Britain! Tom Dean touches ahead of Duncan Scott for a superb victory.

Hwang Sun-Woo (KOR) led for most of the race, but tightened in the final 25m to finish seventh. Fernando Scheffer (BRA) snuck in to claim bronze.

Swimming: We’re in for a blockbuster 200m freestyle final. Katie Ledecky saw what Ariarne Titmus accomplished in her first semi and laid down a marker, leading from the front to win in 1.55.34. Barbora Seemanová (CZE) finished second, Italy’s incredible champion Federica Pellegrini powered home at the death to snatch third, beating out Maddy Wilson (AUS) and 14-year-old Summer McIntosh (CAN).

Wilson’s time was good enough to sneak into the final in eighth spot, but all eyes will be on another Titmus v Ledecky duel in the pool.

Rugby Sevens: Australia have taken a 12-0 lead over New Zealand approaching half-time in the Bledisloe-lite.

Swimming: Ariarne Titmus wins the first 200m freestyle semi in 1.54.82. The Australian was out slowly as Canada’s Penny Oleksiak took the first 50 in world record pace, but used all her 400m endurance to power home, pipping Hong Kong’s Siobhan Haughey on the line. Job done.

China’s Junzuan Yang came third, Oleksiak fourth.

Olympic record holder Allison Schmitt (USA) was fifth, New Zealand teenager Erika Fairweather eighth.

Swimming: Ok, time for some swimming. Ariarne Titmus is in the arena ready to kick everything off with the first semi in the women’s 200m freestyle.

Surfing: South Africa’s Bianca Buitendag, Steph Gilmore’s conqueror, is through to the semi-finals after outpointing Portugal’s Yolanda Hopkins in the first quarterfinal.

American top seeds Caroline Marks and Carissa Moore are in the next two heats, followed by Australia’s Sally Fitzgibbons.
