Noemie Fox gets her moment, Hockeyroos bounced in controversial fashion: What you missed in Paris overnight
PARIS: Was this Australia's moment of the Olympics?
The Fox sisters completed a clean sweep of the canoe slalom program after Noemie stunned the kayak cross field to win an emotional gold that bumped Australia back to third on the tally.
Meanwhile, the Hockeyroos were eliminated after a controversial call and things are looking good for Australia in the women's pole vault.
Catch up below on what you missed from the Olympics overnight.
'Dad is the only one without an Olympic medal'
There wasn't a dry eye at Vaires-sur-Marne after Noemie Fox followed sister Jess in winning gold by taking the inaugural kayak cross event.
The younger Fox came first in her heat, quarter-final and semi-final before edging past Great Britain's world champion Kimberley Woods in the four-woman final.
The Foxes soon joined her in the water with mum Myriam and fellow gold medallist Jess leaping into the water, while dad Richard - who called the race for Nine - ran from the commentary box to join the party.
The Fox siblings now have three gold medals between them from Paris 2024, a clean sweep of the women's canoe slalom events.
Mum Myriam is an Olympic bronze medallist and father Richard, who called the race for Nine, is a 10-time world champion.
Another special chapter for canoeing's first family.
Jess, still drenched after leaping into the water to embrace her sister, sobbed as she spoke to Nine's Olympic coverage of her pride.
"I'm just full of emotion," Jess said, voice trembling.
"And I'm so proud of her, and I'm just – I'm drenched, I jumped into the water.
"There's so much emotion in this moment. It's amazing."
Controversial review sends Hockeyroos packing
Australia has been eliminated from the women's hockey draw after a dubious video review decision went China's way in the 3-2 quarter-final defeat.
The decision left former Hockeyroo and Nine commentator Georgie Parker perplexed.
"It looked like it hit the thigh of the Chinese player," she said on Nine.
"I'm gonna have to turn my mic off, I will have some choice words otherwise."
Biles bounces back from blunder
Simone Biles came into the last day of her Paris campaign with three golds in her luggage and two more on offer.
It didn't quite go to plan, with a rare error on the balance beam costing her a podium place...
...before winning silver on the floor.
She received a standing ovation in what could be the 27-year-old's final Olympic performance.
Three gold medals and a silver - and the joy with which she competed - gave Biles the redemption she deserved after her Tokyo 2020 nightmare.
Aussies in action on the track
At the Stade de France, pole vaulter Nina Kennedy's bid for gold looks promising after she qualified for the final and saw two rivals eliminated.
In the men's final, Kurtis Marschall failed to clear 5.90m and 5.95m to miss the medals in an event dominated by Swedish superstar Armand "Mondo" Duplantis with an extraordinary world record performance.
Australia's fastest woman, Torrie Lewis, finished seventh in her 200m semi-final after earlier winning her repechage.
Australia's Rose Davies finished 12th in the 5000m final.
USA megastar Noah Lyles hit the purple track almost 24 hours after his exhilarating 100m triumph and breezed through the opening round of the 200m in 20.19 seconds.

'Goosebump moment' as gold medal shot emerges
There hadn't been huge expectations around Australia's men's pursuit team but they have emerged as a huge gold medal shot after setting the fastest time in qualifying at the velodrome.
The sizzling national record time of 3:42.958 was quicker than Great Britain, Denmark and Italy, who they will now square off with for the medals.
Sharks stunned by Japan
The Australian men's water polo team was after a confidence-boosting win against a winless Japan but things didn't go to plan, going down 14-13.
The Sharks finish their pool second and will still progress to the quarter-finals.
