Jess Fox fulfils her dream winning Olympic Gold

Jess Fox takes home Olympic Gold in the debut Women’s C1 Canoe Slalom event at Tokyo 2021.

Lampoon Group represented athlete, Jess Fox, campaigned to have the Women’s C1 included in the Tokyo Olympics which has paid off extremely well after securing the elusive gold medal. Jess has now won a medal at all three Olympic games that she has attended with a complete collection of a gold, silver and two bronze medals.

Her perfect final run gave her a finishing time of 105.04, beating her semi-final time earlier that day by a huge five seconds and knocking Mallory Franklin to second place.

Following her success, Jess said:

“It was just about do what you know how to do, be you, and I think we make a great team so I’m super proud to share it with [my mum] and she is my biggest inspiration so to have both [my mum and sister] here and dad at home – I can’t wait to show him this medal.”
