All the action you may have missed - Jess Fox wins gold, Matildas eliminated and Australia bag more medals.

Transcript

00:00What's for breakfast this morning, sports fans?

00:06A gold, two silver, and two bronze.

00:09The full Aussie breakfast with a side of croissant, if you don't mind.

00:13Champion paddler Jessica Fox made Australian Olympic history by adding a second gold to

00:17her Paris collection, blitzing the field to defend her women's C1 title, just days after

00:23her K1 crown.

00:24In the pool, Kyle Chalmers and Jack Sutterly-Cook won silver in the men's 100m freestyle and

00:29the 200m breaststroke.

00:31It took a world record to beat Chalmers and a mad Frenchman, Leo Machon, to beat Zack.

00:36We won two bronze too, Natalia Diem delivered the ride of her life in the BMX, and Shooter

00:41Penny Smith from the little Victorian town of Booker, population 158, won bronze in the

00:47women's trap.

00:48The bad news is the Matildas are gone, their Olympic campaign is over.

00:53They lost 2-1 to the US and needed other results to go their way, but they didn't.

00:58Some other women's teams had more success, in water polo we beat the Netherlands and

01:02in hockey we beat the US.

01:03Our women's 3x3 basketball team also had a win against Germany.

01:07Finally, after all the controversy surrounding the water quality of the Seine, the triathlons

01:11were run.

01:12Matt Hauser had our best finish, 7th in the men's, and what a way to see the beautiful

01:16city of Paris with all that swimming and cycling and running.

01:20Just spoiled a little bit by all the sweating.

01:23All I know is that I'd rather be swimming in the pool than in the river Seine.

01:26Until then, au revoir.
