Triple gold medallist Jess Fox is returning home from Paris with a new-found fame and although it’s taken some getting used to, she is excited to share her golden glory with Australia after a ghostly Tokyo experience.
Canoe superstar Jess Fox has enjoyed the arrival home as an Olympic gold medallist before, but this time it was her sister’s turn.
The cousin of Jess and Noemie Fox has the next Olympic Games in his sights – something that could strike fear into the hearts of international paddlers after the women’s three-gold haul in Paris.
Tom Green says he will have to shoulder the blame for “screwing up” the start of the K2 final that prevented him and crewmate Jean van der Westhuyzen from winning another Olympic gold.
Australian paddling great Jess Fox revealed her heartrate soared to a staggering 185 beats per minute in an emotional moment that she said was “up there with winning the Olympics.”
A former Olympic silver medallist and his brother have learnt when they will stand trial over an alleged plot to smuggle $200m worth of cocaine into Australia.
Jess Fox showed why she’ll head to the Paris Olympics favoured to win medals across all three slalom paddling events after making World Cup history in her final Games warm-up.
Noemie Fox has earned Australia one of three Olympic quota spots in the new Olympic discipline of Kayak Cross, to secure her spot on the Australian Olympic Team alongside sister, Jess Fox.
