Jessica Fox has etched her name into the history books of Australian sport, becoming the first athlete to win six individual Olympic medals, after she took the gold in the C1 canoe event.
With the fifth day of the Paris Olympics heading towards its end, there are many things to remember and others Australian sports fans will want to put behind them. The biggest news of the day came from the women's canoe slalom, the women's BMX, the women's shooting and the swimming events. In women's football, things may not have turned out the way fans were hoping for.
So to do it here on the biggest world stage, that's going down in history. I've written history today. That's insane," smiled the 26-year-old Queenslander, whose mum Tamara was at the magnificent La Concorde skate park to give her a congratulatory hug. Penny Smith won Australia's first shooting medal at the Paris Games on Wednesday when she claimed bronze at Chateauroux.
