Aussie BMX racer Saya Sakakibara's inspiring Olympic journey has come to a devastating end, after a crash during the semi final she was leading saw her lose her chance at getting into the final.

Another day of sensational highs and agonising lows - we celebrated with Jess Fox, who took home the coveted gold she'd been desperately chasing as her dad watched on silently from the commentary box. While we commiserated with Saya Sakakibara, who was injured in a nasty crash in the semi finals and forced her out of finals contention. She said she felt like she'd 'disappointed everyone'.

It's the race that gave him a gold medal - the 4x200m freestyle relay, so it's safe to say Todd Pearson knows a thing or two about the race, but even he was sure the Australians were a shoe-in to win gold at the final on Thursday. The Australian women still broke their own world record, but ultimately came in thrid after China dominated, and the USA's Katie Ledecky came back strong in the last leg to secure silver. Listen as Ben, Mark and Todd react to the race.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Five years ago in Rio, the Netherlands' Annemiek van Vleuten suffered one of the more horrific crashes you'll ever see in a bike race. All alone in first place with less than 12km remaining in the women's road race, Van Vleuten's tires locked up around a tight turn and she flipped over the handlebars, fracturing her back in three places. She was back to competitive racing within a month of the injury—how?—but these Games were the chance at redemption for the now-38-year-old. Van Vleuten thought she got that redemption in the women's road race earlier this week, celebrating at the end of the 137km race as though she had won gold. But Austria's Anna Kiesenhofer had pulled so far ahead of the pack that everyone forgot about her. She won gold by 75 seconds, and Van Vleuten had to settle for silver. She finally got her gold medal in the Day 5 women's road time trial. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There was a bit of heartbreak for some of our Aussie athletes yesterday - from the inspirational story of BMX rider Saya Sakakibara, whose brother was supposed to race at the Olympics along side her, but suffered a brain injury in a traumatic accident. She came 6th in the quarter finals and didn't progress, to swimmer Brianna Throssel coming last in the 200m butterfly final and Australian boxer Skye Nicolson who was left in floods of tears after her quarter final loss.

He's someone who knows a thing or two about winning gold. He and his Aussie teammates - Ian Thorpe, Michael Klim and Bill Kirby captured Australia’s collective hearts when they set a new world record and beat the USA to take gold in the 4x200m Freestyle relay in Sydney 2000. Todd Pearson opens up about his own Olympic experience, and gives Ben and Mark some insight into why our Aussie swimmers are so great at the moment.
