Australia has won its eighth Olympic gold medal after the country’s golden girls once again triumphed in the pool.
Mollie O’Callaghan, Lani Pallister, Brianna Throssell and Ariarne Titmus joined forces to sweep the competition in Paris, with the girls coming very close to breaking the world record.
Titmus took home the gold medal with a stunning final leg that began with the United States hot on the Australians’ heels, but the 23-year-old had established a two-second margin of victory when she hit the wall.
