In an incredible display of skill and determination, Jessica Fox has just snagged her second gold medal at the Paris Olympics, this time in the women’s canoe singles (C1). Fox successfully defended her Olympic title, showcasing her talent on a challenging course.
During her last run of the day, Fox put on a show, finishing with a stunning time of 101.06 seconds, which was an impressive two and a half seconds ahead of the next best competitor, even after facing a two-second penalty.
