Australia has won three medals on the final day of racing in the ICF canoe sprint World Cup series in Copenhagen.
Kenny Wallace featured in all three boats, taking his World Cup series tally to eight medals.
He dominated the K1 5000 event from the outset to win his second consecutive gold medal after triumphing in Duisburg, Germany, a week ago.
Wallace has now won five K1 5000 world cup gold medals from as many starts in the last two years.
Since finishing second at the World Championships paddling together last year, Wallace and Lachlan Tame have forged a strong partnership.
This was highlighted by them recording the third fastest time ever recorded in the K2 1000 at the opening World Cup in Portugal.
Today, the pair won their fourth medal of the series, adding a bronze in the K2 200 to their three medals in the K2 1000.
Not normally renowned for their prowess over 200 metres, the pair got off to a strong start and held it to the end. They finished 0.332 seconds behind British pair Liam Heath and Jonathan Schofield who won in 32.004.
Western Australian duo Jesse Phillips and Stephen Bird finished sixth in 33.088.
All four Australian's later combined to win bronze in the K4 200 final.
Throughout the series Wallace has won medals over 200, 500, 1000 and 5000 metres, demonstrating his versatility as one of Australia's most successful sprint paddlers.
