00:00Another day over in Paris and if the Fox sisters were a country of their own they'd have finished
00:08the night 17th overall on the medal count and only 11 countries would have had more
00:13gold medals than their three.
00:15Noemi Fox stepped out of the shadow of her triple Olympic champion sister Jessica to
00:20win gold in the women's kayak cross, completing a clean sweep of the women's canoe events
00:25for the duo.
00:27If that wasn't enough for you, their mother is also an Olympic medalist, winning a kayak
00:31singles bronze for France in 1996 in Atlanta.
00:35It was the lone gold medal for Australia on day 10 while the hockey roos were heartbreakingly
00:40and controversially knocked out of the women's hockey tournament.
00:44Now some 16,000 kilometres away, the waves stopped Jack Robinson from claiming gold.
00:48He picks up silver in the men's surfing tournament in Tahiti, but the international highlight
00:53of the day, that'd be Mondo Duplantis, the men's pole vault champion who won gold by
00:58clearing six metres and didn't stop there.
01:01He lifted the bar to 6.10 to set an Olympic record and then on his final attempt cleared
