KAYAK:Double delight for canoeing's comeback 'GOAT' Jess Fox

Jessica Fox's reputation as the greatest paddler of them all has been elevated to new heights as she continued her comeback by completing an astonishing golden kayak-canoe double at the World Cup meeting in Prague.

The 31-year-old triple Olympic champion, who'd taken the the K1 crown on Friday, doubled down with victory in the C1 on Saturday, pulling off the double success in only her second competition back since she underwent surgery to remove a benign tumour from her left kidney nine months ago.

Once again showing she's lost none of her old dominance, the Olympic canoe champ, who took silver in her comeback event last week in Slovenia, was even able to overcome a couple of mistakes on the challenging Troja course and still emerge triumphant.
