Noemie Fox has stepped out of the shadow of her triple Olympic champion sister Jessica to win a gold medal of her own in the kayak cross to complete a clean sweep of women's canoe events for their family.
The 27-year-old has collected Australia's 13th gold medal of the Paris Games with an unstoppable display in the new Olympic whitewater event.
Fox won every round before taking out the four-paddler final on Monday at the Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium.

Woods held the lead but struggled to get around an upstream gate late in the course, allowing Fox to power to victory.
Jessica won the C1 and K1 Olympics titles — bringing her medal tally to six from four Games — before being eliminated early in the kayak cross.
Their mother Myriam Fox-Jerusalmi is also an Olympic medallist, winning a K1 bronze for France at the 1996 Olympics.
"It's crazy that it's mine," Noemie said of the gold medal.
"You don't really dare to dream this big, but I really did this time and I dared to dream to get to the Olympics and then to get to that final.
"When I saw in the last up (gate) that I was first, it was pure joy - there's no words to describe that feeling."

While Noemie has long been a world-class paddler, she's never been able to compete in an Olympics before with her superstar sister taking the only Australian selection spot available.
The younger sibling said there were many times she considered giving the sport away, such was her sister's dominance.
Robinson silver after Vaast's Teahupo'o masterclass
Jack Robinson has claimed silver in Olympic surfing, falling to local Kauli Vaast in the gold-medal match in Tahiti.
The Margaret River-raised surfer beat three-time world champion Gabriel Medina of Brazil earlier on Tuesday (AEST) to claim a place in the showpiece final.
But he fell 17.67 to 7.83 in the decider to the popular Vaast, who grew up kilometres from Teahupo'o, first riding the infamous break at age eight.

Australian divers qualify for finals
Half a lifetime since becoming an Olympic teenage sensation, Melissa Wu has plunged into the record books again by diving for Australia in a record fifth Games — and reaching a fifth 10-metre platform final.

The elegant 17-year-old eclipsed her hero, finishing as the sixth-best qualifier from the semi-finals with her five dives scoring 309.90 points, while Wu edged in as the 11th of the dozen finalists on 294.10.
Simone Biles wins silver

Brazil's Rebeca Andrade became the first gymnast to beat Biles in a floor final in a major international competition, posting a score of 14.166 that finished just ahead of Biles at 14.133.
Biles' US team-mate Jordan Chiles earned the bronze.
Biles, 27, considered the greatest in the history of the sport, wasn't at her usual best during a routine set to music from pop icons Taylor Swift and Beyonce.
Still, she boosted her medal haul in Paris to four — gold in the team, all-around and vault finals and a silver that came as a surprise in her signature event.
"I can't be more proud of how I've done," Biles said.
"I'm 27-years-old walking away from this Games with four medals to add to my collection. Not mad about it."

Australia qualified fastest in the men's pursuit, lowering the national record by more than a second — a whopping improvement.
Olympic medallists Sam Welsford and Kelland O'Brien combined with debutants Oliver Bleddyn and Conor Leahy to clock four minutes 42.958 seconds.
COVID-19 outbreak hits Aussie athletes
More than 40 Australian Olympians have tested positive to COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses at the Paris Games.
Swimming Australia's head coach Rohan Taylor has revealed some swimmers raced with COVID-19 during their nine-day program at the pool.
Zac Stubblety-Cook, silver medallist in the men's 200m breaststroke, was among those who continued to compete despite testing positive to COVID-19.
Some swimmers, including Lani Pallister and Ella Ramsay, withdrew from races after testing positive to COVID-19. Pallister pulled out of her 1500m heat but later won gold in the 4x200m freestyle relay. Ramsay pulled out of the 200 individual medley after contracting the virus.

Australia's men's water polo team, the Sharks, will head to the quarter-finals despite a 14-13 loss to Japan.
Australian sailor Matt Wearn is guaranteed a gold or silver medal after the cancellation of men's dinghy races on Monday.
Wearn is in the box seat to claim consecutive Olympic golds in the event and will protect a big lead in Tuesday's medal race in Marseille.
Racing on Monday was scrapped due to lack of wind, meaning the dinghy competition heads straight to the medal race, which is worth double points, on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Kurtis Marschall battled his way to sixth spot in the Paris Olympics pole vault final which was taken out by Sweden's Armand Duplantis, who broke his own world record in winning gold.
