TOKYO: Australia’s Ariarne Titmus and Japan’s Yui Ohashi won their second gold medals while Britain picked up their third swimming gold with an impressive victory in the men’s 4x200m freestyle relay on a thrilling day of action in the pool.

After losing to Titmus for a second time in Tokyo with a disappointing fifth-place finish in the 200m freestyle, there was some consolation for Katie Ledecky with the American winning the inaugural 1,500m freestyle gold to capture her sixth Olympic title.
