Career[]
Knox was born in England, and his family moved to New Zealand when he was two years old. Knox's family emigrated to Canada when he was seven.[1]
Knox was named to his first Canadian national team at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics held in Buenos Aires, Argentina. At this event, Knox won bronze in the 200 m individual medley[4] In 2019, Knox won two medals at the 2019 FINA World Junior Swimming Championships in Budapest.[5]
As part of the 2021 Canadian Olympic swimming trials in Toronto, Knox broke the national record in the 200 individual medley event, with a time of 1:58.07. This qualified him for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.[6][7][8][9] Knox placed seventeenth in the heats of the men's 200 m individual medley, 0.14 seconds behind Japan's Daiya Seto, and thus missed qualifying to the semi-finals.[10]
