**** you you British campaigners, get nothing suck shit.

How’s that moral victory going for you.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

That is as good a gold medal as I have seen won for Oz, up there with her sister's in Tokyo 3 years ago.

 

[Royces Hart]

They are going to have to rename a big chunk of Penrith after the Fox family. Maybe a new suburb near the canoe course.

Foxytown

 

[Scorpus]

Coming fourth in the final must be brutal, only guy to walk away with no medal at all

 

[largebus]

You ****in ripper.
That might be the most satisfying of all of the Fox golds, and that's saying something.

 

[JP Sauce]

Imagine the subtle guilt she has felt for years, denying her sister an Olympic berth.

God damn, that was one of the best things I’ve seen.

We (as in Australia) have to do everything in our power to allow more than 1 person per country into the C1 and K1 events.

We need more Fox medals!

 

[Trojan90]

This is clubhouse leader for my favourite Paris moment.

The fox girls might need to pick a C or K and stick to an Olympic lane!

Was going to say the same thing. Still remember seeing Jess’ gold in Tokyo and that being my moment of those Olympics. Exactly the same feeling just then, so good!

 

[scottywiper]

Forgot being a republic. Time to have an Australian royal family. The Foxs.

 

[AdelaideGT]

How am I supposed to go to sleep after that.

You don't. You pour a drink and stay up for Pole Vault final and other athletics.

Was Rohan the guy who lucked his way into the final?

 

[catstorm]

Coming fourth in the final must be brutal, only guy to walk away with no medal at all

To be fair Rohan was a pure Bradbury into that final.

Fault for promotion on the qrts then that semi where everyone just fell apart.

So he really had no business being there.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Her runs reminded me of Saya Sakakibara's - pick your lane, get in front, stay out of trouble ..... WIN!!!!!

 

[Scorpus]

Love the rapid format event where they get through the quarters, semis and finals for mens and womens within a short period of time

 

[largebus]

Honestly at first glance I thought this was a bit of a hit and giggle lottery compared to the actual slalom, but she started in front and won all her races convincingly. No luck in that gold medal at all.

 

[juice t]

Her runs reminded me of Saya Sakakibara's - pick your lane, get in front, stay out of trouble ..... WIN!!!!!

I was thinking the exact same thing

Both of them took the far-right lane whenever they got the chance to avoid the trouble

Then they pretty much pinged the lid every time and won

 

[Hawksboy72]

Yes!!!!!!!!!

[AdelaideGT]

I just knew when Jess was asked 'what does this mean for your family?' she was gonna say 'Poor Dad'.

He deserves an Olympic medal for being so cool during commentary.

 

[catstorm]

Also with that we just passed the French back to 3rd on the medal tally.

You know it’s these unexpected golds that are the best. The ones you don’t see coming.

One I remember from Rio was that Chloe Esposito pentathlon gold. One of my favorite ever Olympic moments.

 

[JP Sauce]

Her runs reminded me of Saya Sakakibara's - pick your lane, get in front, stay out of trouble ..... WIN!!!!!

Exactly what I was thinking.

And nothing will top Saya's win (for me) at this Olympics, but Noemie is right up there!

 

[Jeremias]

Love the rapid format event where they get through the quarters, semis and finals for mens and womens within a short period of time

I agree but I want this sport on every ****ing night, even when the Olympics are over

 

[Scorpus]

Looking at the replay, Noemie also torched the Brit on the final gate out of the silver position

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

There have been a lot of very successful brothers who row together in pairs and fours for European nations as well as flat water canoeing K2 and K4 events, but these Fox sisters are the closest Oz has to some of those champion Olympic siblings.

 

[Satan]

Never in doubt
