Seven’s Olympics coverage continues to perform well for the broadcaster, producing the #1 primary channel (35.0%), network (48.0%), and multichannel (7mate with 7.6%) as the Aussie gold rush sees the country close in on the nine golds won at Rio 2016.
A lot of the big moments came around midday and the late afternoon with Izaac Stubblety-Cook winning the men’s 200m metre breaststroke, Kyle Chalmers narrowly missing out for gold in a classic 100m freestyle final, and the Women’s 4x200m freestyle relay team picking up bronze. Jess Fox then put her Olympic demons to rest finally winning a gold medal in the C1 canoe slalom.
Primetime was mostly dominated by the swimming heats but also featured the Aussie women’s rugby sevens team, the men’s water polo team, and women’s hockey.
