    She's standing on top of the podium, she can't watch now, she's got her paddle in front of her and her helmets still on her head.

    She's just looking at the ground because it's so close she can almost touch it!

    Mallory Franklin will win at least bronze. But she'll want more.

    Only two more paddlers to try and knock her out of gold medal position.

    First up is Czech Tereza Fiserova...

    'C1 women weren't taken seriously' - Franklinpublished at 08:23 British Summer Time 29 July 2021

    Back in May, Mallory Franklin spoke to BBC Sport about the sexism women's C1 paddlers experienced when the event was first introduced.

    This is the first time it has been included at the Olympics and in 2009 a 15-year-old Franklin was one of the first women to take part in the event at a World Championships - although at the time it was only included as an exhibition.

    "We had a training camp before that race with all the C1 women," Franklin said.

    "They invited us on the course and gave us a bit of coaching before. I remember you would see people watching us fall in and laughing about it."

    "C1 women just wasn't taken seriously at that point. A lot of it was put down to girls not being strong enough. There was not the appreciation that it was a brand new class that had just come in.

    "All the other disciplines would have looked like this if you went back to their roots. Every other discipline has had more than 30 years to develop and finesse itself."

    There are only another three athletes to go. Next down the chute is Brazil's Ana Satila.

    Mallory Franklin looked really composed. She will be irritated with that touch on gate 15 but she very quickly put that to the back of her mind - which is the most important thing.

    To put that down in the middle of the field... everyone else knows it's there now and everyone else has to chase her time.

    It's a really difficult course, you throw yourself to the mercy of the waves.

    A lovely peaceful, joyous smile comes across her face because she knows she couldn't have performed much better than that.

    She's set a massive challenge for the rest of the field now.

    That was really punchy from Mallory Franklin. She comes home home in 108.68, with just a two-second penalty on that final run for a touch of gate 15.

    That is more than 10 seconds better than second-placed Nadine Weratschig in second. It is faster than anyone else managed in the semi-finals.

    Hot favourite Jessica Fox is the last of the remaining five paddlers to go.

    It's going to be tense...
