Australia’s most successful Olympic Games has wrapped up overnight, with the closing ceremony being held early this morning. These games captured the hearts of all Australians with every event being a potential medal opportunity.
A shining light of these games was Harvey Norman Ambassador, Ariarne Titmus’ success, winning a gold in the 400m freestyle and the 4x200m freestyle relay, along with two silvers in both the women’s 200m freestyle and women’s 800m freestyle.
Harvey Norman Ambassador, Jeff Dunne made the country proud in the debut of breaking at the Olympics. He showed grit and determination to compete in the Olympics at the age of 16!
