Fer wins women's kayak single for France

WALTHAM CROSS - Emilie Fer completed a superb couple of days for French paddlers at the Olympics when she won gold in the women's kayak single final at the Lee Valley White Water on Thursday. Two days after Tony Estanguet claimed gold in the men's canoe slalom single final, his third Olympic gold, Fer produced a perfect run down the rapids to set a winning time of 105.90. Australian teenager Jessica Fox took a sensational silver medal, 0.36 seconds slower, bettering the bronze that her mother Myriam claimed at the 1996 Games in Atlanta. Spain's Maialen Chourraut finished with the bronze medal.
