“This is 50 times sweeter that yesterday.

“Yesterday was pretty draining emotionally. I gave everything in that run and afterwards I was very upset emotionally.

“Today I didn’t want to give the video judges any chance of giving me an asterisk or a 50, I wanted to be middle of the gates. I definitely had that fire from yesterday.”

Fox finished in 101.21 to claim the win from Brazil’s Ana Satila (102.69) and Poland’s Klaudia Zwolinska (103.61).

Now aged has aged out, the win means Fox finishes her junior and under 23 career with 11 gold medals, achieved in 14 world championship appearances.
