Did Jess Fox win gold? Women's kayak single final results
Fox put in a stellar performance to win the gold medal in the women's kayak single final.
The Australian had an underwhelming semi-final run, so was fifth out of 12 competitors in the running order on Monday morning (AEST).
This arguably worked in her favour though, as Fox set a scintillating time of 96.08, putting pressure on the athletes following her.
Ultimately, no one could match the 30-year-old.
Poland's Klaudia Zwolińska went close to challenging, but a sticky ending saw her finish over a second off Fox.
Ricarda Funk – who topped the timings in the semi-finals – was on track to snatch victory with the last run of the final, although two late, costly penalties saw the German drop to 11th.
The result marks Fox's first Olympic gold medal in the K1 event, having won silver in London and picking up bronze medals in Rio and Tokyo.
