Patty Mills sunk a buzzer-beating 3-point shot that ensured that Australia beat Russia in the basketball. Having lead for almost the entirety of the match, Australia found themselves down by 1 with 4 seconds left on the clock. Russia had been previously unbeaten, so getting a win against them was a great confidence booster for the Aussies going into their next match against the USA.
But then that moment got overshadowed.
Overshadowed by Tom Slingsby winning GOLD in the Laser classification sailing race!
That's right Australia finally won another gold medal!!! WOO HOO!!!
Congratulations to Tom - you are Australia's first individual gold medalist at the 2012 London Olympics!!
xx love Breanna
