Aimee Fisher

EVENTS: Canoe Sprint - Womens K1-500m, Womens K2-500m

Aimee Fisher was born in Rotorua and raised in Hastings, Fisher first represented her country as a teenager but her breakthrough year came in 2015, when she joined with Jaimee Lovett, Caitlin Ryan and Kayla Imrie in the K4.

Aimee will join Olympic debutant Lucy Matehaere in the Women's K2 in Paris. Aimee acknowledges Danielle McKenzie who had teamed up with her to qualify the boat at the Australian nationals in February 2024.

As the 2021 world champion, Aimee chose to withdraw from the Tokyo Olympic programme, needing some time out. At the end of 2023, she met with Canoe Racing New Zealand to express her desire to re-join the team and has been working hard to achieve her qualification in both the K1-500m competing alongside Dame Lisa Carrington and the K2-500m with Lucy.
