Australia has had its most successful day in 125 years of Olympic competitions with four gold yesterday.
It's set the team up to bring home Australia's biggest ever gold haul, or at least equal it. At the Athens 2004 Olympics the team brought home 17 gold.
Before Tokyo, Australia had won three golds in a single day just four times since 1896. Now it's done it twice in less than a week.
The gold medals yesterday went to Emma McKeon for the women's 50m freestyle; the women's 4x100 medley relay with Kaylee McKeown, Chelsea Hodges, Emma McKeon and Cate Campbell; Logan Martin for the BMX freestyle; and Matt Wearn won the laser men's sailing event.
