Paddler Jess Fox defended her Olympic canoeing crown in a tense final at Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium to secure two golds in Paris, cementing her status as one of Australia's greatest athletes.
In the final, Fox finished in a blazing 99 seconds with just one penalty, ultimately winning as the last paddler Gabriela Satkova struggled with an early penalty, solidifying Fox's victory and celebration.
Fox's exceptional performance not only marked her as the first Australian to win six individual Olympic medals but also placed her among the elite group of athletes with three individual gold medals in any sport.
With her remarkable victory, Fox became the first paddler, male or female, to achieve gold in both canoe and kayak events at the same Olympics, setting a historic precedent in the sport.
