Things are getting heaps weird between China and Australia rn.

ICYMI, Australian swimmer Mack Horton is currently public enemy number one in China for his tense public feud with Chinese nemesis Sun Yang.

Horton won the 400m freestyle at the Olympics on day one of competition, saying it was a win for the "good guys", which was a not-too-subtle nod to the fact that Yang has previously been suspended from the sport for taking a banned substance.

The 20-year-old Aussie also said Yang splashed water in his face during a warm-up session last week, and then the world's most awkward handshake occurred on the medal dais (see above).
