Olympic Games: Australians in action on day four in Paris

Swimming sensation Kaylee McKeown is aiming to defend one of the two Olympic backstroke titles she claimed three years ago, while the Australian men’s 4x200 freestyle relay team hope to go one better than in the two-lap race earlier in Paris.

Jessica Fox has already secured one gold medal at the 2024 Games and will now chase a second while defending her Olympic crown in the women’s canoe single, as the reigning champion, Logan Martin, sets out to back up his Tokyo title in the BMX freestyle park.
