Australia has added two silvers and a bronze to its tally at the Paris Olympics, contributing to this year's record-breaking performance.
Matthew Richardson earned a silver medal in the velodrome and Maddison Keeney secured another one in the diving pool. Canoe sprinters Tom Green and Jean van der Westhuyzen got bronze.
This brings Australia to a total of 48 medals so far: 18 gold, 16 silver and 14 bronze.
Matt Richardson speeds into silver
Matt Richardson has finished runner-up to Dutch star Harrie Lavreysen in the track cycling sprint.
It was Richardson's first individual Olympic medal, after he won bronze earlier this week in the team sprint.
"I put my best foot forward, I didn't leave anything out on the track. He's (Lavreysen) one of the greatest sprinters we've ever seen on this planet," Richardson said.

He and Matt Glaetzer will ride the opening keirin heats on Saturday.
Maddison Keeney shines at the springboard
Maddison Keeney has become the first Australian diver ever to win an individual Olympic 3m springboard medal - a glorious silver - in Paris.
The 28-year-old from Perth received her biggest medal yet on the podium from one her heroes, Oscar-winning actress and IOC member Michelle Yeoh.
Winner of a springboard synchro bronze in 2016, she had delivered her best ever performance under the utmost pressure on Friday, beaten only by another of the seemingly invincible Chinese divers, Chen Yiwen.
She scored 343.10 from her five-dive program as Chen proved a runaway winner with 376.00.

"Many times my legs have buckled from under me, but going through all those experiences, falling off the board, it's kind of made me who I am today. I feel like I've been forged in fire."
Champion sprint paddlers Green and Van der Westhuyzen get bronze this time
Australian paddlers Tom Green and Jean van der Westhuyzen will leave Paris with a bronze, unable to repeat their Olympic heroics in the men's K2 event.
Despite smashing a 20-year-old Olympic record in the semi-final earlier on Friday at the Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium, Green and van der Westhuyzen couldn't catch Germany's Max Lemke and Jacob Schopf in the medal race and crossed the line third.
Hungary's Sandor Totka and Bence Nadas won silver.

"We would have loved to come here and get the gold again but we'll live to fight another day and coming back home with the dirty gold isn't too bad," said 25-year-old van der Westhuyzen.
Algerian boxer Imane Khelif wins gold medal bout
Khelif has claimed gold at the Paris Olympics, emerging as a champion from a tumultuous run which included huge
Khelif beat Yang Liu of China 5-0 in the final of the women's welterweight division, wrapping up the best series of fights of her boxing career.
France's huge Algerian community embraced Khelif, but outside of the competition venues she faced extraordinary levels of criticism, which thrust her into a larger divide over changing attitudes toward gender identity and regulations in sports.
Khelif said the level of abuse "harms human dignity," calling for an end to bullying athletes. She also said a gold medal would be "the best response" to the backlash against her.
Khelif's gold medal is Algeria's first in women's boxing. She is only the nation's second boxing gold medalist, joining Hocine Soltani (1996).
Breaking's Olympic debut
The first Olympic breakers took the stage this Friday at Place de la Concorde, where even rapper Snoop Dogg showed off a few of his own moves before opening the event.
Australian Rachael Gunn, aka Raygun, made history as one of the country's first Olympic breakers, but she bowed out without firing a shot.
Gunn's first battle was against American Logistx, but the Australian was unable to win a point in any three contests including against 16-year-old French B-girl Syssy.

Afghan refugee athlete disqualified for political slogan

The Paris Games are the third Olympics where a team of refugees is taking part. Afghanistan is represented by a contingent of three women and three men, in a largely symbolic move by the International Olympic Committee as a message to the country, which under Taliban rule has restricted women's and girls' access to sports and gyms.
