G'day sports fans,

Classic Olympic quote: "A silver medal gets you as many free beers as a gold medal does" - Shooter Russell Mark (AUS).

In today's edition of Sport Journal:

✅ Buddy Available

🪜 Seventh on the medal ladder

🔁 Man United get their man

🇦🇺 AFL

🤕 Nat Fyfe's season is officially over after the Fremantle skipper underwent shoulder surgery in Melbourne, while goalsneak Michael Walters is highly unlikely to play again this year.

Fyfe dislocated his right shoulder in the round 12 loss to the Western Bulldogs on June 6, but was keen to delay surgery until after the season in a bid to be part of his team's finals push.

However, those surgery plans were brought forward to this week after Fyfe's right shoulder dislocated again during Sunday's 40-point loss to Sydney.

✅ Sydney superstar Lance Franklin has overturned his one-match suspension for striking and will be available for Saturday night's clash against Essendon at the Gabba.

The decision is a major win for the Swans in their late-season push for a top-four finish while also giving Franklin the best possible chance to kick the 17 goals he needs to reach the 1000-goal milestone this season. (AFL)

😔 Four-time Olympic gold medallist Simone Biles said "I have to focus on my mental health" after pulling out of the women's gymnastics team final.

The American left the arena after the vault, but later returned to support her team-mates as they claimed silver behind the Russian Olympic Committee.
