Jessica Fox shows why she is the ultimate team player after winning two golds at the Olympic Games

Jessica Fox proved she is the ultimate team player despite being crowned Australia's individual queen at the Olympic Games in Paris.

Fox, who was Australia's flagbearer at the opening ceremony, stamped herself as the greatest paddler of all time after winning gold in the K1 and C1 slalom runs this week, becoming her nation's most decorated Olympian in individual events in the process.

But she has demonstrated again why she is so adored by her teammates, after she was seen cheering on Tim Anderson during the men's K1 final on Thursday.

However, Anderson was unable to emulate the all-conquering Fox, finishing seventh with a time of 90.90 seconds. 

He had sat in the silver medal position after his run, but having been the third paddler to hit the course he faced a nervous wait as the rest of the competition made their attempts. 

Anderson finished fifth at the world championships last year and had hoped to push on for the podium positions in Paris, but it was not to be.   

Fox did not rule out competing in a fifth Olympics after her win on Wednesday, despite entering her twilight years.

'I still feel good, I still love the sport, I still feel like I'm enjoying it,' Fox said after her second Paris win.

'We have the world championships at home in Penrith in 2025, so I expect the same crowd that was here today to be there.

'I'm definitely not retiring today.'

Fox still has one event remaining in Paris, with the kayak cross added to the Olympic program for 2024, with her younger sister Noemie also in the field.

The event runs across four days, starting with the time trial on Friday August 2, with the medal decided Monday August 5.

Victory in that would see her join swimming great Shane Gould, in 1972, as the only Australians to have won three individual gold medals at the one Olympics.

Dolphins ace Kaylee McKeown could also join the golden treble club, chasing three individual titles in Paris - the 100-200m backstroke double and the 200m individual medley.

Despite her stellar form Fox said gold was no guarantee in the kayak cross, which involves four competitors on the course at a time, with the fastest advancing on to the next round while the remainder are eliminated.

The paddlers can make contact with their kayak or paddle to push them off-line as they attempt to manoeuvre through the gates, and complete an eskimo (360 degree) roll. 

'In kayak cross you just never know,' said Fox, a two-time world champion in the discipline.

'You just have to try and make it through each round and see how you go but it's hard to plan, it's hard to have expectations.

'For me it's just about trying to feel good on the day - I'll be giving it a red-hot crack but there are so many strong girls, it's a very strong field.'
