Like the rapids she regularly conquers, Paris Olympics triple gold-medal threat Jessica Fox has recently faced some turbulent times. Australia’s star slalom-canoeist last week watched her younger sister Noemie become the latest member of the Fox family to qualify for the Olympics , but later that evening was shattered by the death of grandfather Roger Fox.
“It was so challenging as there were only three quota spots available and in the kayak-cross a lot can happen, a lot can go wrong. “I’ve never been so nervous ... my heart rate when she was racing was 185 which is nuts. “In the final, when she came out of the last upstream gate I was just screaming, I lost my voice afterwards, and crying because she had done it. “It was just so much emotion and joy and love and happiness for her achieving that dream.
