The 2024 ICF Canoe Slalom World Cup champions will be decided this weekend, as the tour reaches its final stop in La Seu, Spain for the fifth and final event of the season.
It has been a memorable World Cup season for the Australian team, including a clean sweep for Jess Fox, who became the first athlete to win three gold medals in a single weekend at World Cup 3 in Krakow, Poland.
During the World Cup season, Noemie Fox earned Kayak Cross qualification for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, and fellow Paris Olympians Tim Anderson and Tristan Carter achieved personal best finishes.
With the overall World Cup titles set to be decided, our Aussies will put it all on line this weekend to bank valuable points, double up for grabs – 120 points for a gold medal.
After winning bronze at World Cup 4 in Italy last weekend, Olympic gold medalist Noemie Fox has moved up to fifth place in the overall Women’s Kayak Cross standings, with 72 points. Great Britain’s Kimberley Woods holds onto top spot on 109 points.
Jessica Fox will make her World Cup return this weekend after opting out of World Cup 4. She leads the Women’s Canoe standings on 175 points, sits in third in the Kayak and is eighth in the Kayak Cross.
Kaylen Bassett currently sits in 18th place in the Men’s Canoe standings, with Paris Olympian Tristan Carter in 22nd. Tim Anderson is the best-placed Australian in the Men’s Kayak standings in 27th, while two-time Olympian Lucien Delfour is 45th.
The 2024 ICF Canoe Slalom World Cup 5 will get underway on Thursday 19 September and run until Sunday 22 September.
Racing gets underway at 10pm on Thursday 19 September with the Men’s and Women’s Kayak heats.
