Super Saturday is here and the gold on the water at Tokyo 2020 continues to flow apace.

From Wednesday's "67 minutes of glorious gold" to the extreme dominance in the Rowing, Australia's been unashamedly stockpiling medals for the looming athletics drought.

But is the gold getting old? Is a breaststroke gold really worth the column inches? And are the TV-polished fathers of our winners right to be obdurate and scripted in their reactions?

But for every story of triumph, there’s one of utter national shame. The Opals were trumped by the Chinese (and rightly so... please don’t cyber-attack us), and our rugby Sevens teams are playing off for positions in the double-digits. Still, at least Kyle Chalmers might get a spot in the VFL ressies at half-back flank upon return.

Finally, the Equestrian is here - and that means the nation's expectations shift to the trembling 62-year-old shoulders of Andrew Hoy. Can we bank on this older gentleman for Gold in the Olympics' only gender neutral event?
