We gotta put old Richard to stud.

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.

He does own 10 world championship gold medals.

Great to hear an Aussie accent on the stadium announcer doing the English translation, when an Aussie wins in Paris.

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

It was a brilliant run. Trailing early but kept her cool and nailed the gates when she needed to.

Any Fox boys in AFL draft? Lol

This American is an idiot, it’s embarrassing. Who hired him?

Lee & Michelle Capes were on the '88 Hockeyroos

Cate & Bronte Campbell

Jess & Noemie are the first to both win individual Gold Medals


I was about to pre-emptively list the Konrads but Ilsa only won a Silver

 

[AdelaideGT]

Ahhh - I think I need another celebratory drink..

 

[JP Sauce]

The Fox sisters currently sit 16th on the medal tally.

This is clubhouse leader for my favourite Paris moment.

Saya by a short half head for me........

 

[2 eazy]

Is this greatest sporting family ever? Dad 10x WC, mother Olympics medallist, older daughter 3 gold medallist younger daughter gold medalost

 

[LukeParkerno1]

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.

Simon Fairweather is my favourite one Archery gold in Sydney

Roycroft Family in equestrian also won a bunch of medals back in the day but not too many together and no shared Gold I reckon.

Fox family could replace them in generational-medals if the ladies get clucky anytime soon.

 

[my name was taken]

What a fantastic moment. Me and my partner were frustrated all the media calling her champion Jess' little sister every time her name was mentioned for the last week. Well done champion Noemie.

My favourite Olympic moment yet.

Roycrofts in equestrian also won a bunch of medals back in the day but not too many together and no shared Gold I reckon.

Bill & Wayne were father & son

Bill got a Gold in Rome and they later won a Bronze together in Montreal

 

[JP Sauce]

Saya by a short half head for me........

Yep. Noemie made me incredibly happy, but Saya also made me cry like a baby.

 

[catstorm]

**** it give her the flag at the closing ceremony.

Did Eddie just say 'The Federal Republic of China'?

 

[Visions]

Two other things after watching the replay. French crowd going ballistic even after Fox crossed the line as their French girl moved into second and won the silver medal. Sound was awesome.

Then Woods after finishing last noticed that Fox had won, and her reaction indicated she was ecstatic about that and made her way over to Fox giving her a huge hug. They must be great friends.

I thought that briefly before - but surely (at this stage) it has to be Kaylee.

Never missed a medal in every Olympic event she has contested. Yes - Noemie is the same, but Kayle has 7 medals & 4 individual Gold.
