Australian Jessica Fox has scored four gold medals from as many starts after another win at the Canoe Slalom World Cup in Poland.

Fox went under 100 seconds to take out the C1 by more than four seconds from Spain's Nuria Vilarrubla and Brazil's Ana Satila, with her sister Noemie seventh.

The 24-year-old Fox had gate issues in the final but had a fast run to compensate for her four seconds in penalties.

Fox said she felt lucky to compete before before the wind and rain arrived.

"I had a great run, a couple of touches though that I was a bit frustrated with, but it was a fast run and I'm very happy to win again," she said.

"I feel bad for the girls who raced at the end when the conditions were really difficult."

The two-time Olympic medallist had won gold in the women's K1 just 24 hours earlier, and had a double win on the final day of the ICF Canoe Slalom World Cup in Slovakia in June.
