Show Notes
Not even a bout of long Covid could stop canoe slalom veteran Luuka Jones from being selected for her fifth Olympic Games.
The 35-year-old is off to Paris, following an Olympic cycle that's seen her battle with health issues and injuries.
Jones was diagnosed with long Covid in early 2022- but she's grateful to be back in the game this year.
"By the end of last year, I was in full health again. It's been a bit of a ride, but I'm just grateful to be back and feeling how I am."
