And the best part? Jess Fox ended up winning a bronze medal.
So, it makes sense that Jess' kayak got damaged. Enter: The life-saving condom, which was one of the reasons why she was able to chase gold in the women's K-1 slalom finals.As shown in the video, the kayak was first covered in a carbon mixture, before being held in place with the condom due to its ~stretchy~ and ~strong~ properties.There are a lot of jokes that could be made here, but I'll keep my lips zipped.According to Jess, the condom also gives the carbon a smooth finish.
Although Jess ultimately ended up scoring the bronze medal , she's now immortalised herself in the Olympic hall of fame for her ingenuity.She'll also have another run at the gold medal in the women's C1 slalom event.
