About Jessica Fox keynote speaker
Jessica Fox keynote speaker sessions come from one of the greatest paddlers in Olympic history. At Paris 2024, Jess won gold in both the K1 (single kayak) and C1 (single canoe) canoe slalom events. In doing so, she became the first woman to win gold in both at a single Olympic Games.
Four Olympic Games, six medals
Jess first reached the Olympic podium at London 2012, winning silver in K1. She followed that with bronze in K1 at Rio 2016. At Tokyo 2020, she won gold in C1 and bronze in K1. Then, at Paris 2024, she defended her C1 title and won her first K1 gold.
Her road to gold was not quick. She came close at both London and Rio, yet she never let disappointment define her. Instead, she used each result to build mental and emotional toughness. As a result, her story shows audiences what it takes to keep improving over more than a decade at the top.
Beyond the Olympics, Jess has won many titles at the ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships. Her technical skill, strategic thinking and competitive spirit have made her a leading figure in the sport. In addition, she is known for her commitment to environmental sustainability and to inspiring young athletes.
