How this was not a 50 for Fox ? Hope ITA delegation will request a protest here

What happened? In the last gate I noticed she was close to the gate (well yeah she touched it) but passed it on the inside. Barely, like most..

Make or break for  now  Time to justify having that studio around the venue 

So yep let write it again for the xth time. We will not have any medal in Tokyo. Our only chance was yesterday and it ended bad.

 

But we will be back in Paris.

 

At least one good news today. No gold for Fox. So apparently at least some "justice" still exist in this world.

Dutch NOC is probably ashamed of this 7th place?

I think top 8 is fine, 9th place gets you whipped in public and passport revoked

She literally moved the gate with her chin (would not be surprised if it was even on purpose) just to make sure the ref will not call it a miss and just a 2 seconds hit, she did not have the whole head inside.

 

I saw plenty of 50 seconds for even smaller and less visible cases than this one.  but if your name is Fox, you have not to worry. ICF will do everyting for you, the girl of their poster

Did Fox pee in your food?

Nice for Funk to win a medal after a) Her coach died during an accident at the 2016 olympics and b) The place where she was born (Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler) was in the epicenter of the recent floods.

99% of this forum probably has no idea about any "hidden influences" in this sport so we wait for some details!

Who are Canoeist Jess Fox parents?

 

Not very hidden, if you ask me.   

 

I don't follow canoe sports outside of the Olympics, but if i was the ICF, i would have her as my poster girl as well
