Australian paddler Jessica Fox is through to the semi-finals of the women's C1 at the Canoe Slalom World Championships as she chases her third consecutive world title in the discipline.
Fox finished third in her heat in a time of 102.57 seconds with no penalties, 1.12 seconds behind British Olympic hopeful Kimberley Woods.
Fellow Australians Ros Lawrence and Ali Burrows are also through to Sunday's (Monday AEST) C1 semi-final in London.
"I felt good on the water today, I was really happy with that run," Fox said after.
"It was smooth and solid."
"I progress to the semi and can relax today and tomorrow before attacking the K1 on Saturday."
Fox is also through to the semi-finals (Sunday AEST) of the K1 class, where she is looking to defend the world title she won in the United States in 2014.
In the men's competition, Australian Robin Jeffery advanced to the C1 semi-finals, finishing ninth in qualifying.
Jeffery recently quit the C2 discipline, where he and Kynan Maley were eliminated in the semi-finals at the London Olympics, to focus his efforts on the C1.
"The C2 gave me a lot of good lessons and I learned a lot from it," Jeffery said.
"But now that I'm just doing the C1, I have a lot more free time and clear thoughts."
