International:

Australia are scooping more medals in the Olympics... in fact they have now beaten their previous best performance. In the men's tennis doubles the Woodies backed up their Wimbledon win with an Olympic gold.

Australia is currently in a solid seventh position after the US with 36 (gold); Russia 23; China 16; France 15; Germany 14; and Italy 11.
