Fox Sisters Headline Aussie Canoe Slalom World Cup Quest
Australia’s best canoe slalom athletes kick off their World Cup campaign this weekend in Spain.
MEDIA RELEASE:
Olympic gold medalists Jessica and Noemie Fox headline the 10-strong team that will compete at the 2025 ICF Canoe Slalom World Cup 1 in La Seu from Friday 6 June through until Sunday 8 June.
“The main objective that I have my eyes on this year is the World Championships…a home World Championships in a career is very special,” Noemie Fox said.
“But also the World Cups this year, I’m really looking forward to challenging myself - it’s a bit of a harder schedule with just one run, straight to top 12 and into the final.
“So I think there’s a lot more challenges this year for me, but I’m excited to step up in my slalom events and to maintain my Kayak Cross world rankings and titles,” she said.
It is the first of five World Cup events, with the season set to culminate in Penrith for the 2025 ICF Slalom World Championships.
The World Cup 1 program will start with the men’s and women’s Kayak Heats and Finals on Friday, before the men’s and women’s Canoe Heats and Finals on Saturday, and wrap up with the Kayak Cross on Sunday.
