Highs and lows as Fox takes gold from World Cup opener
Three-time Olympic champion Jessica Fox has finished the opening canoe slalom World Cup of the year in Spain with mixed fortunes, unable to add another medal to her C1 triumph. Jessica and younger sister Noemie took on the kayak cross event on the final day of competition at La Seu d'Urgell, which hosted racing for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Advertisement Noemi, the reigning Olympic champion from Paris last year, was eliminated in the first round after an error negotiating the fourth gate. Olympic champion Jessica Fox celebrates after setting the pace in the C1 World Cup event in Spain. (HANDOUT/PADDLEAUSTRALIA) Jessica made it through to the semi-finals but placed third, just missing qualification for the four-paddler final, which was won by France's Olympic silver medallist Angele Hug. Looking to build toward a title at the world championships on her home course in Penrith in September, Jessica won gold in the C1 after turning in a shocker in the K1. In the kayak, she was docked a massive 54 seconds in penalties to finish third last in the 51-strong field. But the 30-year-old showed her composure to regroup for the canoe event and despite qualifying for the final in ninth spot she blitzed the field in the medal race. Advertisement Fox finished 4.10 seconds clear to claim her 34th World Cup gold medal in the event ahead of Czech Mren Lazkano despite being penalised two seconds for nudging a gate. Noemie placed 20th after finishing an admirable ninth in the K1. "I'm super happy with that final. It was great to get out there and put out a fast run so it's a great way to start the season," said Jessica, who admitted her preparation had been affected by other commitments since winning both the C1 and K1 gold medals in Paris. "It's a new format, with one heat and then straight into the final and it didn't go so well in the kayak and I was quite disappointed so I wanted to come back and put down some good paddling. Advertisement "To win on the first World Cup is a great start but still four more races to go for the World Cup series and then the world championships is the main goal of the year." In the men's K1 event Australia's Lucien Delfour had one of his best World Cup performances to win bronze. Delfour had the fastest time of the day but was relegated to third behind Frenchmen Titouan Castryck and Anatole Delassus due to a gate penalty.

Massive Debt Revealed at Center of Olympian's Shock Divorce
Court documents reveal that compounding amounts of debt may have been at the center of Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte's decision to call it quits on his marriage of seven years. Page Six reports that Lochte, 40, and ex Kayla Rae, 33—who announced their separation June 4—have racked up nearly $270,000 in debt over the course of their marriage. The couple owes around $99,000 in taxes to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the years 2021 and 2022, and in December 2024, they were hit with a bill of $2,231.76 for 'unpaid' costs, 'late fees,' and 'attorney fees' on their home in Gainesville, Florida. Adding to that, the 12-time Olympic medalist reportedly owes $127,977.73 to the Shands Teaching Hospital and Clinic, where Lochte may have been treated for a November 2023 car accident, Page Six reported. The hospital added that a separate $39,720.15 was owed for a February 2024 visit. Reid filed for divorce from Lochte on March 26, according to court docs, Page Six reported. In a statement posted to Instagram, she said it was a 'hard decision' she made after 'deep prayer and reflection.' 'I hold marriage in the highest regard, so this has been one of the most painful, revealing, and challenging seasons of my life,' she said. Lochte followed with a statement of his own, saying he was 'deeply grateful for the life we've built together and especially for the love we share for our three children.' Lochte and Rae share son, Caiden Zane, 8, and daughters, Live Rae, 5, and Georgia June, 1, together.

Coco Gauff used words and a mirror to persuade herself she could win the French Open
So she drew inspiration from Northampton's Gabby Thomas, who became the women's Advertisement 'I wrote, 'I will be French Open champion 2025' like a bunch of times,' Gauff explained. 'She [Thomas] wrote 'I will be the Olympic champion' and she ended up winning the gold. I think it's a great mindset that she had.' Eight lines on a piece of paper written by Gauff late on a Friday night, then it was finally time for bed, time to rest. Coco Gauff took inspiration from Gabby Thomas at Roland Garros 'I will be the French Open 2025 Champion.' Powerful words fulfilled by a powerful young woman. 🇺🇸❤️ — The Tennis Letter (@TheTennisLetter) Not quite. Gauff then persuaded herself a little bit more, by staring at the mirror and convincing herself she was looking at the face of a soon-to-be French Open champion. 'Looking at myself in the mirror so I was trying to instill that belief, and obviously it happened. I didn't know if it was going to work or not. [But] it did,' Gauff said, then laughed as she added: 'When you're desperate, you're just trying anything to think that it's going to help you win.' Advertisement Coco Gauff defeated Aryna Sabalenka, 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-4, to win the French Open on Saturday. DIMITAR DILKOFF/AFP via Getty Images Gauff also posted on Instagram another message she wrote to herself four years ago, which started with the words 'I had a dream last night that I will win [the] French Open.' Job done. What also stood out during the 2 hours, 38 minutes on Court Philippe-Chatrier on Saturday — in a gritty final punctuated by swirling winds due to the open roof — was how Gauff stayed calm while Sabalenka imploded and continually remonstrated with herself. Saturday's French Open final was a frustrating afternoon for top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka. Lindsey Wasson/Associated Press All the screams and shouts were coming from Sabalenka's side of the net, while there was an almost quiet, steely focus on Gauff's side. That's largely because, these days, Gauff gets her frustrations out before matches. 'I know how important it is for me to let out those emotions so that when I come on the match court I can try and be as calm as possible,' the No. 2-ranked Gauff said. 'I'm more cool-headed in matches. But in practice I can get pretty upset. Just let me be upset. If I'm upset, I'd rather be upset on the practice court than the match.' Gauff will now switch to the grass-court season and may play in Berlin next week before heading to London for Wimbledon, which starts on June 30. When she gets to London, Gauff will indulge in one of her favorite hobbies: trying to get out of Escape Rooms. 'For sure, I love it, and I'm going to definitely do it,' she said. And how about Sabalenka? How will she be coping with the defeat and the frustrations she so clearly felt? Advertisement Will she be analyzing footage of the match over and over again, trying to understand where she went wrong and what she must do better? Far from it. She's off to indulge herself in Greece. 'I already have a flight booked to Mykonos and alcohol, sugar. I just need couple of days to completely forget about this crazy world,' Sabalenka said. 'Tequila, gummy bears, and I don't know, swimming, being like the tourist for couple of days.'
