Noemie Fox Returns to Podium Winning Bronze at World Cup 4

Just over a month after her history making gold at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Noemie Fox has returned to the podium winning bronze in Kayak Cross at the 2024 ICF Canoe Slalom World Cup 4 in Ivrea, Italy.

Fox wrote her name into the history books at the Paris Games, winning the first ever Olympic gold medal in the event.

After a short break in Australia, Fox and her Australian teammates headed back to Europe for the remaining two World Cup events of the season.

After windy conditions postponed racing earlier in the weekend, a 16th place in Canoe and 23rd in Kayak, Fox was eager to pick up her Kayak Cross success where she left off in the French capital.

After dominating her heat and quarterfinal, Fox finished second in her semi final to qualify for the final.

In the final, Great Britain country women Mallory Franklin and Kimberley Woods teamed up to win gold and silver respectively, with Fox rounding out the podium winning bronze.
