Latest Olympics News, Rumours & Tea from Paris 2024

August 11, 2024

Algerian boxer, icon, and gold medalist Imane Khelif has officially filed a legal complaint after enduring weeks of harassment regarding her gender.

“The boxer Imane Khelif has decided to start a new fight, a fight for justice, dignity, and honor,” said Nabil Boudi, Khelif’s lawyer, to Reuters.

In disappointing news for Team USA, Jordan Chiles must return her Women’s Floor Exercise bronze after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled her final score invalid.

Initially, when Chiles received her results at the gymnastics final, Team USA coach Cécile Canqueteau-Landi appealed to add 0.1 to her final score. The appeal was successful, moving Chiles from fifth to third place.

The CAS found Chiles’ bronze-winning score invalid because Landi appealed just seconds after the one-minute window for coach submissions had closed.

The International Olympic Committee has confirmed that Chiles will need to return her bronze, which will be awarded to Romania’s Ana Bărbosu, who originally placed third before Team USA’s appeal.

The biggest story from Paris today was the incredible gold medal victory by Algerian boxer Imane Khelif in the women’s 66kg boxing event.

Despite facing a media storm questioning her gender identity due to unfortunate comments from a competitor at the start of the Games, Khelif made history as Algeria’s first medallist in women’s boxing, silencing critics and beating silver medallist Yang Liu.

Meanwhile, Team Australia celebrated two silver medals on Day 14.

The first was earned by Aussie diver Maddison Keeney in the women’s 3m springboard event.

The second silver and Australia’s 48th medal was claimed by cyclist Matthew Richardson in the men’s sprint.

The debut of the Olympic event of breaking (NOT breakdancing) also captured global attention, with Australia’s b-girl Rachael ‘Raygun’ Gunn’ becoming a viral sensation, despite being eliminated in the round-robins.

Overnight in Paris, Australian athletes added new chapters to the history books with their remarkable achievements.

Boxer Caitlin Parker became the first Australian woman to win a boxing medal, placing third in the Women’s 75kg Boxing event.

Shortly before, her fellow Aussie boxer Charlie Senior also earned a bronze medal in the Men’s Boxing 57kg event.

Although both athletes lost their individual bouts, they returned home with shiny medals to display!

However, the boxing curse continues, as no Australian has ever won gold in any Olympic boxing event. Perhaps the home-ground advantage at Brisbane 2032 will change that?

On Day 12 of the Paris Games, Australia made Olympic history and broke its own record for the most gold medals ever earned at a Games.

We achieved this by winning FOUR GOLD MEDALS IN ONE DAY!

This day of the Olympics marked Australia’s most significant gold rush since the 1850s.

Not only did she become Australia’s first-ever field gold medallist, but she also helped Australia achieve its highest gold medal count at an Olympics, ever.

The medals didn’t stop there for Day 12 either! Earlier in the day, Rhydian Cowley and Jemima Montag won bronze in the mixed race-walk relay marathon. Matthew Denny also secured third place in the men’s discus.

What a remarkable day!

Day 10 of Paris 2024 brought one of the most significant pieces of Olympics news for Australia, as 14-year-old Arisa Trew won gold in the Women’s Park Skateboarding, making her Australia’s youngest medal winner ever.

Arisa won gold after scoring 93.18 on her second run. On the podium with her were Cocona Kiraki from Japan with silver and Sky Brown from Great Britain with bronze.

At just 14 years and 86 days old, Trew claimed the title of the youngest Australian Olympic gold medallist. The previous titleholder was Sandra Morgan, who was 14 years and 184 days in 1956 when she competed in the 4x100m freestyle relay team.

Australia continued to excel in the medal tally throughout the day, with Leigh Hoffman, Matthew Richardson, and Matthew Glaetzer adding another bronze to our collection, this time in the men’s team sprint cycling event.

To top it off, race-walkers Rhydian Cowley and Jemima Montag placed third in the Mixed Marathon Race Walk Relay. With a time of 2:51:38, the dynamic duo secured Australia’s 36th medal.

The highlight of Day 11, however, was undoubtedly the heartwarming moment at the podium of the Artistic Gymnastics Women’s Balance Beam event.

China’s Zhou Yaqin placed second in the event, between Italy’s Alice D’Amato in first and Manila Esposito in third. While the three stood to accept their medals, Zhou noticed her fellow winners doing something strange with their medals.

Unfamiliar with the Olympic tradition of biting your medal, the young gymnast won hearts worldwide when she smiled and took a bite of her silver. Here’s a pic from before.
