“Oh yeah, bronze is kind of cute too.”
It’s not every day an ordinary Aussie girl gets to swing into the orbit of the man currently owning the most-beautiful-person-in-surfing crown, which holds for both sides of the gender binary and includes even the non-binary hotties.
But when you’re Jess Fox, who stunned the world at the Paris 2024 Games with two gold medals in the little boat races and you’re with your sister who also won gold, the world peels open like a fresh oyster and suddenly you’re ham to ham with the star of the most iconic image from the Games.
Jess Fox met triple-world champ Gabriel Medina, who was once described as the black Knight of surfing for his squalls and tantrums and ready to moisten eyes but is now one of the most popular surfers on tour, in a Paris cafe, the Brazilian having flown to France for the closing ceremony.
Gabriel Medina was the gold medal favourite with odds so short you’d win a buck for every three wagered but finished third after only catching one wave in his semi-final with Jack Robinson.
Fate played her usual ironic hand when Jack Robinson missed out on gold after only catching one wave in his final with Tahitian Kauli Vaast.
Anyway, the pair met and Jess’ sister Noemie photographed her sister examining Medina’s bronzed bauble, cleverly captioning the image,
“Oh yeah, bronze is kind of cute too.”
A very good troll but not the best of the games for that honour falls to another Australian, the almost-middle-aged breakdancer Rachael Gunn whose kangaroo and jiujitsu-themed moves have since electrified the internet.

Jess and her ” little man in the boat”

Can’t anyone dig up Fisher doing a nude run across Cafe de Paris? All his good shit is absolutely buried now.

He will slay his way through the Olympic village. I hope the surfers get to stay there – rather than in some hotel off sight. He has the credentials to put on a gold medal performance and probably an Olympic record of activity in just a few days. I am backing him to deliver.
Hope he bangs the pole vault schlong guy!

His reputation precedes him
So does his healthy schlong yes!

That meeting between GMed and the Foxes seems like something the Pervert Wizard dreamed up
Ray Gunn! A must watch. Gotta be from the same hood as bexy.
that was epic. Peak BG material too
Living her best life. Australians might be banned from ever attempting to break dance again though.
That made my whole morning. Trying to find more clips.
Breakings in our blood!!
Hope he smashed her and her sister while wearing that Bronze!
And rubbed it on their bumholes for good luck!

Those Foxes are now paralympians after a romp with Gmed!
Speed power flow, this comment 10/10
Lucky we’ve got Jessica. That other dumb fuck is an embarrassing retard
Raygun is a national treasure
A post transitioned Mr G, a bigger scandal than the boxing
it boggles the mind how she convinced an Olympic selection committee/coach that she was the best Australia had. And no one understood the culture enough to call-out her atrocious mis-interpretation of it. Makes Australia look like some culturally clueless backwater at the end of the earth..
