Australian star Jessica Fox has finished well outside the medals at the canoe slalom World Cup in Prague.

Fox, a two-time Olympic medallist, incurred a 50-second penalty for a missed gate of the women's K1 final on Sunday, finishing 10th.

She met the same fate in the C1 semi-finals a day earlier.

"I had an edging mistake, missed gate seven because of what I did in gates four and five," said the 23-year-old Fox.

"After that it was hard to get back into it. I didn't feel like myself on the water."
