The Gangurrus registered their maiden Olympic victory in Paris on Wednesday, a tense 21-19 win over Germany at La Concorde.

And they made more history on Thursday evening with a 21-15 win over China.

Against the Germans, Alex Wilson nailed the match-sealing shot to get the Australian team off the mark after a tough loss to Canada on Tuesday.

“I live for these types of moments,” Wilson said.

“You practice growing up, and as you get older, they are the type of shots you want to take. I felt confident taking the shot to win.”

With their first two wins on the board the Aussies must still face the USA (9pm AEST), who are a surprising 0-2, with three more matches to come as part of a complete round-robin.

The top six teams of the eight competing advance into the play-offs.

Elsewhere on Day 6 of the Paris Olympics, Australia is hunting for a podium finish in the rowing men’s fours final (8:10pm), while Jemima Montag has a chance of a medal in the women’s 20km walk.

Due to thunderstorms, the race walks’ starts were delayed by 30 minutes.

But once they got underway with the men’s event, Australia’s Declan Tingay and Rhydian Cowley found themselves in the lead group with 11 of 20 kilometres complete.

But with a few kilometres to go, they had fallen away with Ecuador’s Brian Daniel Pintado, Brazil’s Caio Bonfim, Spain’s Alvaro Martin and Italy’s Massimo Stano the leading contenders as Tingay pushed for a top-10 finish.

Pintado eventually claimed gold in 1:18:55 and celebrated with the Ronaldo ‘SUIIII’ move.

Tingay (1:19:56) came home to finish 11th with Cowley 12th (1:20:04).

Meanwhile, the Opals will be hoping to bounce back after Monday’s 75-62 loss to Nigeria, facing Canada at Lille Stadium (9pm AEST).

The opener was a shocking result for the fancied Aussies and they will need to make up their poor points difference and record a win to remain a chance of automatically advancing into the quarter-finals.

Canada lost by 21 points to France in its opening match meaning the Opals will be confident of a bounce-back.

In the swimming, Kaylee McKeown and Cam McEvoy are among the Aussies in action in Thursday night’s heats.

The Hockeyroos and Kookaburras are both in action against Argentina and New Zealand respectively, while the Sharks return to the pool to face local heroes France.

Jason Day (5:55pm tee time) and Min Woo Lee (5:33pm tee time) get their golf campaigns underway, with big guns like Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy (both 6:11pm tee times) and Xander Schauffele (7:55pm tee time) all in the mix.

Tim Anderson will compete in the canoe slalom K1 semi-finals and if that’s not enough for you, Australian are also featuring in the beach volleyball, archery, boxing, artistic gymnastics, sailing and surfing.
