Olympic champions Jess and Noemie Fox will have an island at Penrith Whitewater Stadium in Western Sydney named in their honour. The announcement comes alongside a $3.2 million funding boost to Paddle Australia, ahead of the International Canoe Slalom World Championships being hosted at the Penrith Whitewater Stadium in just over a year. "We know Penrith is primed to provide fans of our sport and Western Sydney locals with that same incredible atmosphere," Jess said. "A large part of Australia's most successful Olympics performance in history came down to two girls from Penrith, Jess and Noemie Fox, who honed their skills through countless hours on the rapids here at Penrith Whitewater Stadium," Mr Minns said.
