Paris, France - Recent

Australian canoeists Jessica Fox and Noemie Fox have opened up about their victories after the star siblings shone at the Paris Olympic Games with elder sister Jessica winning two gold medals and younger Noemie nabbing her maiden Olympic gold medal.

The two sisters, whose parents were also competitive canoeists, have been impressive in the water as they tackled the demanding whitewater courses at the Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium.

Noemie on Monday won a stunning gold in the kayak cross, a brand new event, while Jessica last week claimed double gold in the C1 (canoe slalom) and K1 (kayak slalom) events in her fourth Olympic Games.

Jessica, who stormed onto the Olympic scene 12 years ago and was one of Australia's flag bearers, told the China Global Television Network (CGTN) of her delight at achieving a superb double, while also reveling in the Noemie's breakout victory.

Noemie was thrilled to win gold despite years in the shadow of her paddling legend sister Jessica.

"A very successful campaign. It's been a dream to come away with two gold medals, to win that kayak goal that I've been chasing since London 2012, and to defend my Olympic title in the canoe from Tokyo. So, unbelievable. And then, seeing my little sister win an Olympic gold medal a few days later has just been the icing on the cake.";

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Noemie Fox, Australian canoeist:
"Yeah, [I am] the first ever kayak cross Olympic champion, which is so crazy and it's starting to sink in. But it's just been the most unbelievable few days and week and campaign, and I think the months leading into this, already just getting selected onto my first Australian team was amazing, and then we just kind of kept on building up from there and it's just been sensational, really. It's hard to find the words to describe what it feels like to win gold with your sister.";
