Jessica Fox blinked her eyes and fought back tears not only because she was mere moments from having another gold medal draped around her neck but also because she was mere months removed from being in the hospital.
“Oh!” she said after winning gold earlier this week at the world championships in Oklahoma City. “I didn’t think I’d get emotional.”
That she did was completely understandable.
There is no bigger star than Fox at the ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships at the McClendon Whitewater Center. In addition to being the first female in the sport to win three Olympic gold medals, the 32-year-old Australian is the only person, male or female, to win six Olympic medals in canoe slalom.
