The Boomers are back in action on day 5, while Ariarne Titmus goes up against rival Katie Ledecky once again in the pool. Here are the Olympic events to watch out for on day 5.

If it seems like the athletes at the Tokyo Olympics look younger than ever, you might be onto something. So far in Tokyo, 19 athletes with an age starting with "1" have won medals, including 13 individuals and 6 team members. And there looks like more to come shortly.

Today, 18-year-old Tunisian Ahmed Hafnaoui will be going for his second gold medal of the Olympics, in the 800m freestyle. On the range, 17-year-old South Korean Kim Je-deok will be marching towards his third gold medal of the Olympics — looking to become the first ever triple gold medallist in archery at a single Olympics.

Kim is aiming to join an elite club of 22 under-18 triple gold medallists. He would be the first since Missy Franklin in 2012, and the first ever outside of swimming and gymnastics.
