Dane Bird-Smith kept the medals coming for Australia after a tremendous effort in the men's 20km walk saw him come away with bronze.
Sisters Bronte and Cate bounced back from their 100m disappointment to qualify for the 50m freestyle semis, but the biggest ripples in the pool came after Chinese swimmer Sun Yang failed to qualify for the men’s 1500m freestyle. Thankfully Mack Horton did.
