Rosalyn Lawrence has won the C1W final at the third ICF canoe slalom World Cup regatta in Prague.
It was Lawrence's fourth C1 World Cup triumph of her career and first since she won in 2012 at Cardiff.
"It has been two years so finally I have broken the drought," Lawrence said.
The 25 year old bounced back after a disappointing opening day when she was eliminated from the K1W competition in 43rd place.
"I was pretty determined to do something better than in my K1 and it worked out reasonably well," Lawrence said.
All the C1 women struggled across the semi-finals and final today with not one paddler able to execute a clean run down the 22 gate course.
"It is a pretty difficult course, there are a lot of touches and a few 50s being given out. I struggled a bit under the bridge but I tried to keep it on track and it went reasonably well," Lawrence said.
She finished more than seven seconds ahead of local favourite Katerina Hoskova of the Czech Republic and Nanqin Cen of China edged German semi-final winner Lena Stoecklin for the bronze.
Tacen World Cup winner Jessica Fox finished eighth.
Fox produced the quickest raw time in the final but was adjudged to have missed gate eight and incurred a 50-second penalty which all but ended her golden run of form.
