Fox clinched two golds in the women’s canoe and bronze in the kayak cross individual, while Delfour won two bronzes in the men’s kayak.
It’s all building towards the ICF Slalom World Championships in Sydney, with Fox saying she can’t wait to welcome the world down under.
“For me, it’s always a proud moment to welcome our international athletes out here and with the World Championships we want to put on a good show for the community, for the spectators, for the fans and everyone watching on TV,” Fox told Paddle Australia.
“But also we want it to be a really memorable event for the athletes, and for everyone to go ‘those Penrith World Champs were amazing.
“When I think about the World Champs I’ve been to that’ve been memorable, a lot of it comes from the fans and from the community who jumps on board.
“When the community really jumps on board and gets behind it, it makes it really special. And when the stands are filled, or the hill in Penrith is full, and the noise is loud – that for the athlete is incredible.
“We feel that at the Olympics, we felt that at the World Championships in Augsburg in 2023, and I hope we can do that in Penrith.
“So that’s what I encourage – everyone come to the World Championships! We want it to be full, and we want the athletes to feel that energy from the crowd,” she said.
The ICF Slalom World Championships will also play a crucial role in the lead-up to the Brisbane 2032 Olympics, further elevating the profile of the sport in Australia.
