Swimmer Emma McKeon is on the verge of becoming another Australia double gold medallist at the Tokyo Olympics.
McKeon enters Friday's 100m freestyle final as hot favourite to win her fourth medal of the Games.
Already with gold from the 4x100m freestyle relay and bronzes in the 100m butterfly and 4x200m freestyle relay, McKeon was the quickest into the 100 free final.
Her long-time teammate Cate Campbell was third quickest - she also could join countrywoman Ariarne Titmus as a dual gold medallist with victory.
