## Resource

Meg Harris stunned the swimming world with a gold in the 100-meter freestyle, dethroning defending champ Mollie O’Callaghan—who battled back injuries and doubted her own ability to compete. Australia’s dominance continued as Jenna Forrester claimed her second gold in the 400IM, Alex Perkins finally broke through in the 100m butterfly, and Sam Williamson swept both breaststroke events. Para-swimmer Beau Matthews and Sam Short also shone, while Kyle Chalmers leads the men’s 100m freestyle with eyes on his 10th gold. It’s been a historic, medal-laden Games for Team Australia.
