World Slalom Canoe Champion Jessica Fox (AUS) slams the International Canoe Federation over misleading statements in their recent press release about their proposal to add women’s canoe events for Tokyo2020. She also protests the use of her image to validate their misleading claims.

“As a C1 woman, to know it will be in the Olympics is great news, however as a high level athlete, ready for Rio, I am upset that you would assume that this will ‘certainly please’ me, because in fact, I am not celebrating with my arms outstretched,” said Fox. “To be honest it’s a slap in the face and misleading.”
