Australian Olympic champion Jess Fox claims World Cup canoe gold in Spain
Australia's Olympic champion Jess Fox has won the women's C1 event at the World Cup leg in La Seu, Spain. The result gave Fox her 34th World Cup gold in the C1. "I'm super happy with that final. It was great to get out there and put out a fast run. It's a tricky course in La Seu," Fox said. Fox had missed the K1 final on day one in La Seu. But she bounced in the C1 to finish more than four seconds ahead of silver medallist Miren Lazkano of Spain. Fox achieved the win despite attracting a two-second penalty. Adding to the significance of her victory was the fact she had qualified ninth for the 12-paddler final. "I wanted to come back today and put down some good paddling," Fox said. "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." The World Championships will be held in Penrith in October. Fox has won the Olympic C1 gold at the past two Games in Paris and Tokyo. She also took out the K1 final in Paris last year.

Aussie Olympics queen Jess Fox posts raw video as she breaks down in tears in her car during 'meltdown'
Jess Fox is Australian sporting royalty given she has won three Olympic gold medals in her decorated career - but the champion slalom canoeist has revealed she still endures tough days like the rest of us. In a raw video recently posted to Instagram, Fox, 30, can be seen crying in her car and having a 'meltdown' before a gruelling indoor training session. Eventually Fox composes herself as the elite athlete knew what was required, mainly the importance of 'showing up and getting it done.' The clip continues with Fox put through her paces in the gym - while wearing an oxygen mask. Close to reaching the point of exhaustion, Fox pushes through the pain, showing why she is a ten-time world champion. In January, Fox turned heads following a memorable entrance to the Australian Open at Melbourne Park. She arrived at the venue in style - on a kayak, naturally. At the time, Fox posted a clip to social media of herself on the Yarra River. In a raw video recently posted to Instagram, Fox can be seen crying in her car and having a 'meltdown' (pictured) before a gruelling training session 'How do you get to the Aus Open?' she says in the clip. 'I just paddle here.' Fox had no previous experience covering tennis, but the Aussie sporting champion, alongside swimmer Ariarne Titmus, was part of the Nine network's coverage across the two weeks of action. She is also believed to be single after splitting from her long-term French partner Mathieu Biazizzo. Daily Mail Australia understands Fox and the Frenchman went their separate ways prior to the Paris Olympics last year. The couple are said to have 'simply grown apart' because of long periods spent apart as each pursued their own canoe careers. Four-time Olympian Fox is currently in a training block ahead of the Canoe Slalom World Championships in Penrith from September 29 to October 4. At this stage, Fox is also working towards the LA Olympics in 2028 - but it remains uncertain if Fox will compete at the 2032 Games in Brisbane.
