Australia's two-time Olympic medallist Jessica Fox has demolished the field to win gold in the C1 at the Canoe Slalom World Cup in Germany.
The three-time C1 World Champion finished more than 10 seconds ahead of the next best paddler on Saturday and was one of only two athletes to complete the tough Augsburg course without a mistake.
At the opening World Cup in Prague last week Fox picked up 50-second penalties in both the C1 and K1 event, giving her a rare weekend where the didn't win a single medal.
"Last week was a bit disappointing but I came her really motivated and pumped," the 23-year-old said.
"My semi wasn't perfect but the final went to plan. I had a lot of energy and attacked it everywhere.
"People were a bit surprised with my results last week but everyone makes mistakes. It's about how you learn from them.
"I think it was a great learning experience and this is a new weekend, a new venue, a new race, so it's a fresh start."
There was also a great result for Tasmanian teenager Kate Eckhardt, who finished sixth in the C1 final, a strong result in a quality field on a very challenging course.
French Polynesian-born Aussie Lucien Delfour once again made the men's K1 final and looked on track to post a competitive time before an error at the bottom of the course drew a 50-second penalty.
He finished eighth, with the Czech Republic's Vit Prindis winning his second consecutive World Cup title.
Competition continues in Augsburg on Sunday, with the women's K1 and the men's C1.
