    Not even a bout of long Covid could stop canoe slalom veteran Luuka Jones from being selected for her fifth Olympic Games

    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, forcing her to step away from canoe slalom for a year.

    The 2016 Rio Games silver medallist insists she's fully fit.



    Finn Butcher joins Jones for his first Olympic Games.
