Noemie Fox is the first-ever Olympic champion in the women’s kayak cross. While she comes from a family of paddling royalty, the youngest Fox wasn’t always in love with the sport. A self-described, late bloomer, it wasn’t until age 15 that Noemie found her love for water sports. Growing up alongside her Olympic Champion sister, Noemie kept falling just short of that Olympic quota. That is until she found kayak cross and made it her niche. While she only left herself two months to qualify for this year's Paris Games, the journey to get there was certainly worth its weight in gold.

The GOAT of Australian Basketball. Every time we hear that phrase, one particular athlete always springs to mind. And considering she’s just become the first Australian to win FIVE medals across FIVE Games, there’s no better time to have her back on the pod. It’s been almost two years since we spoke to Lauren Jackson and during that time she was gearing up for an impressive 5th Basketball World Cup and one of the greatest comebacks in sporting history. It hasn't been the easiest journey to get there with a broken foot, torn Achilles, two ruptured planta fascias and a lot of sacrifices along the way. But that comeback has become even more impressive, because LJ is not only a 5x Olympian but now also a 5x Olympic medallist. Chloe sat down with the GOAT just days beforeshe hopped on the Plane to Paris, full of hope for her last Games. Now she returns to Australia with another bronze medal around her neck. This series is presented by Nike, championing athletes like LJ, listening to athletes’ needs and supporting them throughout all their journeys.
