NSWIS paddler Jessica Fox has maintained her position at the top of the canoe slalom summit after winning two gold medals at the 2014 ICF Junior/U23 World Championships over the weekend.

The Olympic silver medallist turned in another champagne display to win gold in the women’s under-23 K1 and C1 events, before adding bronze in the women’s under-23 K1 team event on the final day of racing. Fox’s triumph in the K1 and C1 events marked the first time a paddler had won both titles at an under-23 world championship.

Fox said she was particularly happy with K1 gold after missing the final of the event at last year’s junior/under-23 world championships.

“This is definitely a really sweet victory, revenge I think for last year,” she said.

“I was really really gutted after last year, so to win on my home course is a really sweet feeling. I can’t thank everyone enough.”

Fox was joined on the medal dais by fellow NSWIS athlete Alison Borrows in the women’s K1 team event, with Borrows also finishing fourth in the women’s under-23 K1 and 10th in the women’s under-23 C1.

Youngster Noemie Fox continued her impressive rise in the sport, highlighted by silver in the women’s junior C1 team event.

Individually Noemie was just 0.21 seconds off a medal in the women’s junior K1, finishing fourth, while also adding a 10th place finish in the women’s junior C1.
