Noemie Fox will join her Olympic gold medal-winning sister Jessica in the Australian canoe team for the Paris Games after a brilliant performance in the kayak cross on the final day of the World Cup meet in Prague. Fox, 27, had to compete in five races just to book her spot in the final in the Czech capital, where she came from behind to clinch the silver medal and an additional quota spot for Australia at the Paris Olympics .
” The women’s kayak cross final in Prague on Sunday was stacked, with Fox squaring off against the reigning world champion and a former world champ. But she was able to hold her nerve and deliver when it mattered most. “Paris has always been a distant dream and one that I wanted to latch onto, while staying a little bit rational knowing that there were so many steps to get to this day and where we are,” she said.
