Gold medals

There were also upsets in the tennis, with Wimbledon champion Ashleigh Barty knocked out, and the taekwondo where Britain's two-time champion Jade Jones lost in the first round.

Even favourite Simone Biles was wobbly in gymnastics qualifying, while golf was robbed of two leading players through positive Covid-19 tests and defending tennis champion Andy Murray pulled out of the men's singles.

And in basketball, the USA had their 25-game winning streak at the Olympics ended by an 81-76 loss to France in their opening game.

Ioane, 31, also set a new Oceania record in the men’s 67kg category.

He won gold for the Oceania and Commonwealth competitions.

The other gold medals were in the Snatch with a lift of 125kg, Clean & Jerk 164kg and 289kg Overall.

Ruben Katoatau of Kiribati won silver and Nauru’s Ezekiel Moses won the bronze medal in the same category.

The 21-year-old Schuster took a closely fought victory in the men's 200 metres backstroke to make history before Lane followed with gold in the same discipline in the women's race straight after.

Schuster, a silver and bronze medallist at Port Moresby 2015, exclusively told insidethegames that training in China and the United States has made a huge difference for him - but that he felt more patriotic and Samoan than ever before following his win.
