Victory in the women's individual kayak K1 class had eluded Fox all season but the 2014 world champion produced an exceptional run, in a time of 77.55 seconds, to beat the rest of the field by a comfortable two-second margin.

Austria’s Corinna Kuhnle, who finished first in the semi-final, won silver in 79.83 while Great Britain’s Fionna Pennie secured the bronze in a time of 79.94.

However, following her success at last week’s event in Prague, today's fourth place by Germany's Ricarda Funk was enough to secure her top spot in the overall World Cup standings just ahead of Fox.

Funk topped the leaderboard on a season's score of 306, whilst Fox finished 16 points behind her on 290.

Jana Dukatova of Slovakia rounded off the top three in the final World Cup table on 233.

Meanwhile, in the other final of the day in Slovenia's capital, the Rio 2016 Olympic champions Peter and Ladislav Škantár won the men's canoe double C2 final.

Despite a slow start, the Slovakian cousins eased down the course in a time of 80.45 to add another gold to their vast collection.

France’s Nicolas Scianimanico and Hugo Cailhol finished their season with a silver in a time of 82.26, which also secured the duo enough points to take second in the overall season’s standings.

They were joined on the podium by compatriots Pierre Picco and Hugo Biso who finished third in 82.43 but took top spot in the overall standings which were dominated by France.

Picco and Biso finished top with 253 points, ahead of Scianimanico and Cailhol on 239.

They were joined by another french pair in Pierre-Antoine Tillard and Edern Le Ruyet who rounded of the medal positions with a points total of 236.
