Australian Jess Fox has the chance to defend her K1 world title after qualifying for the final at the world championships in Rio de Janeiro.
Fox is hoping to become the most successful slalom paddler in the history of the sport by winning another individual title this weekend.
Fox was the last paddler on the course on Friday, and had to deal with rapidly fading light in Rio.
"It was a hard fight the whole way down and a lot of girls had trouble down near the finish," she said.
"So I really wanted to make sure I was getting all those gates all the way down, and getting the speed on the boat.
"I've got a few areas to fix up tomorrow."
Fox was the only Australian to make it through to the final, with Kate Eckhardt finishing 28th, fading away after a strong start.
In the men's C1 event, Daniel Watkins finished 22nd and Ian Borrows was 27th.
