Tokyo 2020 day five: All the Olympic golds and another triumph for the Terminator


  • English
  • Arabic

Tokyo 2020 day five and the action ramped up again with 23 gold medals on offer.

There was plenty of action in the rowing, with extra events after a typhoon earlier in the week disrupted the programme.

And in the pool, Australian Ariarne Titmus said she proved anything is possible after winning the 200m freestyle, her second gold in Tokyo.

Titmus, dubbed the 'Terminator', accelerated in the final metres to touch just ahead of Hong Kong's Siobhan Haughey and finish way ahead of favourite Katie Ledecky, who she beat for a second time after winning the 400m freestyle on Monday.

"I'm just from a small town in Tasmania and it just goes to show if you believe you can do something, you can 100 per cent do it if you work for it," she said.

The 20-year-old won in a time of 1:53.50, an Olympic record, with Haughey, who had set the pace for most of the race, second in 1:53.92.

Canadian Penny Oleksiak took the bronze in a time of 1:54.70 while Ledecky, a five-times Olympic gold medal winner, finished fifth in a time of 1:55.21.

We will keep you updated with all the gold medal winners as they happen in the photo gallery above.

Ziina users can donate to relief efforts in Beirut

Ziina users will be able to use the app to help relief efforts in Beirut, which has been left reeling after an August blast caused an estimated $15 billion in damage and left thousands homeless. Ziina has partnered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to raise money for the Lebanese capital, co-founder Faisal Toukan says. “As of October 1, the UNHCR has the first certified badge on Ziina and is automatically part of user's top friends' list during this campaign. Users can now donate any amount to the Beirut relief with two clicks. The money raised will go towards rebuilding houses for the families that were impacted by the explosion.”
