Fouhy commits to kayaking, but with new coach (503 words)
Fouhy had seen New Zealand gold medallists Sarah Ulmer (cycling), and Hamish Carter (triathlon) win Olympic gold medals with help from personal coaches and believed Ferguson had to spread his resources too wide last year to be of real benefit as a coach.
Fouhy won K1 gold at the 2003 world championships and was considered a strong chance for gold at Athens but was well beaten by Norwegian Eirik Veraas Larsen, who clocked a phenomenal time.
Fouhy was loathe to say he could have beaten Larsen but believed he could have done better if the buildup had been under his own terms.
