Australia has won three gold hours in the space of two hours in a historic day for our athletes at the Tokyo Olympics

Logan Martin has made history as the first ever gold medalist in the  BMX freestyle, a sport which is making its Olympic debut in Tokyo.

The young Queensland dad, 27, from the Gold Coast wowed viewers back home with an incredible display of tricks to claim Australia's third gold medal within two hours. 

Earlier, Australia's golden girls of the pool smashed records and lifted an entire country's spirits with another amazing  morning in the pool.

Emma McKeon won two gold medals in the space of 45 minutes to become Australia's most successful Olympic athlete of all time.

The 27-year-old won the 50m freestyle in an Olympic record before claiming her fourth gold medal of the meet in the 4x100m women's medley.

Australia's second gold of the day, and ninth of the Games, came after a blistering anchor leg from superstar Cate Campbell. 

McKeon is now Australia's most successful Olympian ever with 11 medals from two Games, including seven in Tokyo.

Dual gold medalist Kaylee McKeown and breaststroker Chelsea Hodges set up the relay performance before McKeon swam the third butterfly leg.

Australia was still trailing the US when Campbell dived into the pool for the final freestyle leg before she snatched gold in the dying stages in an Olympic record time.

Campbell, 29, finished seventh in the 50m freestyle final half an hour earlier before her heroic relay leg in what could be her last swim at Olympic level.

'Oh my gosh. I still just can't believe that we just did that,' Campbell told Channel Seven post-race. 

'That is an incredible effort by everyone. 

'I think that obviously I was a little bit disappointed with my 50 freestyle earlier, but I just kind of told myself that you find out what you're made of in the times when things don't go your way, not when things don't go your way, not when things are working well for you.'

'And I took that mindset into this race and I just thought, 'You have to be brave and get back out there.'
