Olympics: As the Australian swimmers arrive in Paris athletes have been warned about security concerns. Preparations for Water Polo have stalled as two players test positive for COVID.
Security concerns, COVID shroud arrivals | 02:14The world number 12 Matildas are dreaming of a first-ever Olympics medal as they take to the field in France this fortnight – but they’ve got to escape a brutal group first.
There’s also world number four Germany, who have also previously won gold, and world number 64 Zambia who boast a striker, Barbra Banda, in incredible form. The Matildas – or the men’s Olyroos team – have never managed a medal, though the Matildas secured-best ever fourth-place finishes in both Tokyo 2020 and last year’s Women’s World Cup on home soil.
“I think it’s just pushing on through that last little bit of a tournament now. And now that it’s happened to us twice where we finish fourth, I don’t think we’re going to let that happen again.”
