Olympics schedule day 13: Stingers face the US, golf in full swing and boxers guaranteed to win medals

The 2024 Summer Olympics are underway in Paris, France.

Australians will be competing in events including athletics, boxing, water polo, marathon swimming and golf on day 13 of the Games.

Because of the time difference, it’ll be night time in Australia when many of those events kick off.

The Stingers — the Australian women’s water polo team  — will be facing off against their rivals from the USA.

And boxers Caitlin Parker and Charlie Senior are guaranteed to take home medals after their matches. 

Here’s what’s on the schedule for day 13 of the Paris Olympics.
