Jessica Fox has secured the C1 World Cup title after finishing second behind Spain's Nuria Villarubia in the final event of the World Cup in Spain.
The Australian went into the race at La Seu d'Urgell having won the past three world cup legs, but four seconds of penalties from Fox on Saturday helped the Spaniard claim the win.
"It was a very challenging final, I had some penalties there and it was tough work all the way down," Fox said.
"I'm really happy to take the overall title. Last year I wasn't able to race all the races in C1 because I was preparing for the (Olympic) Games, so to be back in the C1 boat for every race was awesome.
"I was consistently up there with the fastest times, which is a great confidence boost heading into the world championships later this month."
The world championships take place in Pau, France, from September 23 till October 1.
