00:00Ladies and gentlemen, the Paris Olympic Games are underway.
00:16Caden Helmer's here bringing you the stuff you may have missed from day one.
00:20That's if you managed to sleep through the night and you weren't woken by your housemate
00:23or your neighbor.
00:24If they did wake you, they've got no reason to apologize because what a morning for our
00:29Golden Girls to start things off.
00:31It was dubbed the race of the century, the reigning Olympic champion, a seven-time Olympic
00:35gold medalist and a rising star, yet it was our Ariane Titmuss holding off Summer McIntosh
00:40and Katie Ledecky in the 400 metre freestyle final.
00:44All three have held the world record over this distance in the past three years, yet
00:48it was Titmuss who reigned again.
00:50She becomes just the second Australian woman after Dawn Fraser to defend her individual
00:54Olympic swimming title.
00:56That's history, 60 years in the making.
00:59Didn't stop there though.
01:00Shana Jack, Molly O'Callaghan, Emma McKeon and Meg Harris are the toast of the nation
01:05at the four by 100 metre freestyle relay.
01:08Emma McKeon's sixth Olympic gold medal means that she now has more than any other Australian
01:13in history, surpassing the mark set by Ian Thorpe.
01:17First though came Grace Brown to say she clinched gold in the women's cycling time trial would
01:21be a bit of an understatement.
01:23She blitzed the competition by 91 seconds.
01:25Yes, that's 91.
01:28More medals up for grabs overnight with McKeon back in the pool.
01:31Skateboarding's underway.
01:32Say what you want about it.
01:33As an Olympic sport, it is very good viewing.
01:36Women's sevens are in the mix after the men's side bowed out, lost the bronze medal game.
01:42Until next time.
