Australian Olympic Games<\/a> gold medallist\ufeff Jessica Fox<\/a> has laughed off a crash she had in practice as a "blooper" as she awaits Wednesday night's AIS Sport Performance Awards.<\/p>\n

During practice at Penrith Whitewater Stadium on Tuesday,\ufeff the canoe slalom champion jolted into a bollard and hurt a toe, doing minor damage.<\/p>\n

Fox suffered the injury scare while hosting\ufeff International Canoe Federation (ICF) vice-president Lluis Rabaneda Caselles and NSW government dignitaries at her training base, which will host the World Canoe Slalom Championships in 2025.<\/p>\n

"I'm always pushing the lines, trying to get as fast as possible, trying to squeeze in time where I can, and I think the cameras caught me hitting one of the bollards pretty hard, which meant I smashed into it and pushed forward and cut my toe a little bit, but we're all good," Fox said.<\/p>\n

"I've had a few bloopers this week, but that's all part of training.\ufeff"<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old said on Instagram that Tuesday's crash "looked dramatic", while lamenting that she wouldn't be able to wear high heels at the AIS Sport Performance Awards.<\/p>\n

\"Jessica<\/p>\n

She's one of four athletes in contention for the Female Athlete of the Year honour at the AIS awards night, as are pole vault champion Nina Kennedy<\/a> and swimming stars Kaylee McKeown<\/a> and Mollie O'Callaghan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the first week of November, Fox was announced as the second Australian athlete picked for Paris 2024<\/a>, following the\ufeff selection of marathon swimmer Chelsea Gubecka<\/a> in October.<\/p>\n

Fox was announced as a competitor in the C1 (canoe) and K1 (events), in which she won gold<\/a> and bronze respectively at Tokyo 2020.<\/p>\n

The France-born Australian could yet be selected for the kayak cross, an event set to make its Olympic Games debut in Paris.\ufeff<\/p>\n

While canoers kneel in their boat and use a single-bladed paddle, kayakers are seated and have a doubled-\ufeffbladed paddle.<\/p>\n

Kayak cross in Paris will see four competitors set off from a ramp and race through a course marked with 10 obstacles, with the first two athletes\ufeff advancing to the next round.<\/p>\n

\"Fox<\/p>\n

Fox hinted at her desire to contest the new event at Paris 2024.<\/p>\n

"\ufeffWe're getting a new start ramp [at Penrith Whitewater Stadium] which will be [of an] international standard, [an] automatic start ramp for the kayak cross, and that makes a huge difference for our training for race preparation," Fox said.<\/p>\n

"The head-to-head format means that the start's important and you've got to get that training in. So [I'm] looking forward to testing that out in training and competition.<\/p>\n

"It's the new event for Paris 2024, so [I'm] very much getting into that training and learning as much as we can in the lead-up."<\/p>\n

The canoe and kayak events at Paris 2024 will be held at the Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium, as will the rowing events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
