She qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, where she made her Olympic debut at 18 years of age, winning a silver medal in the K1 event. She won a bronze medal in the same event four years later in Rio de Janeiro, and again at the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics. She won gold at the 2020 Olympics in the C1 event, becoming the first Olympic champion in that event.

Fox has won 22 medals at the ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships with 14 golds (C1: 2013, 2014, 2015, 2018; K1: 2014, 2017, 2018, 2023; C1 team: 2013, 2015, 2019; K1 team: 2023; Kayak cross: 2021, 2022), five silvers (C1: 2019, 2022; K1: 2019, 2022; C1 team: 2017) and three bronzes (C1: 2010, 2023; K1 team: 2017). Her 8 gold medals in individual events make her the most successful paddler, male or female, in World Championship history. She also won a gold medal at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics in the K1 event.

Fox, an 8-time world champion and Olympic champion, is considered the greatest individual paddler of all time.
