After putting up yet another strong performance and exceeding all expectations, Fox took home a gold medal in Pau's WC1 event, marking her 35th gold medal.

"It was a great run. I'm proud of that race," said Fox, per the ICF. "I think it's so satisfying when you can lift in the final and can deliver a better run than in the heats and put pressure on everyone else to challenge that time. I had some key things that I wanted to improve, and I felt like I did that. I was quite surprised to see the time. I was thinking if I could do a 109, that would be a good time, but 105 plus two, you know, it's amazing, so I'm happy and proud of that."
