Australia's fab four claim first kayak gold

Australia edged out two-time former champions Hungary to claim the Olympic Games four-man kayak gold medal on Thursday in their first ever team title in the sport. Tate Smith, Dave Smith, Murray Stewart and Jacob Clear, who all work as beach lifeguards, steered their country to gold at the Eton Dorney course to the west of London.
"Australia's first gold in a team boat - that's massive, but I'll look at that history later," said Tate Smith. "We've struggled a little this Olympics - we've been close but it's the Olympic Games and it's so hard to win a medal, so to get this gold medal means everything to us." Australia's only other medal in the event was a bronze at the Barcelona Olympics in 1992.
