Team GB canoeist Mallory Franklin settled for a silver medal in the women's slalom at the Tokyo Olympics after Australia's world No 1 Jessica Fox stormed through to claim the gold medal.
Franklin, registered an impressive time of 108.68, has become just the second British women to claim a medal in the Olympic event.
The 27-year-old is a former world champion and multiple medallist at all levels but had been denied a shot at Olympic glory before the category was included for the first time here.
