What went down on day three in Rio

STARS OF THE DAY: Australia's women's sevens rugby players after they secured the sport's first Olympic gold medal with a dominant display in the final against New Zealand.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "Pretty bloody good I'd say," - Australian chef de mission KITTY CHILLER on the team's start to the Olympics. The nation sits in third place on the medal table at the end of day three.

TALKING POINT: The simmering feud in the pool. What started out as a slanging match between Mack Horton and Sun Yang, escalated to become Australia v China. It is now involving the US and Russia and is starting to overshadow performances in the pool.

WHAT'S UP NEXT: Australia is well placed to secure double gold in equestrian. Christopher Burton is on top of the individual standings and the Aussie team is in control of the team's competition heading into the last day of competition.
