Australia has won gold! Bronte Campbell, Meg Harris, Emma McKeon and Cate Campbell have claimed the top spot for the 4x100m freestyle relay at the Tokyo Games, breaking a world record!

Their time was 3:29.69, beating out the world record time of 3:30.05 - a record Australia also held.

It's Australia's first gold medal for the games, setting the bar high for events to come. 

Meanwhile, 21-year-old swimmer Brendon Smith won Australia's first medal in Tokyo, winning a bronze in the men's 400m individual medley final.

Our very own Emma McKeon has earned herself a place in the final of the 100m butterfly, coming second in the semi-final.
