It's Australia again in the pool and get the last gold medal on offer on Day 2 at the Games. That was a strong freestyle swim by the Aussie team. Kyle Chalmers, who was the last to enter the pool got a decent lead and then propelled through the water to almost make that decent lead look enormous -- almost two body lengths. England take the bronze while Scotland take home the bronze.
