Fox also ended the season as runner-up in the women's K1 series, just six points behind Jana Dukátová of Slovakia, whose second-place in her home event, behind Émilie Fer of France, was enough to secure a decisive advantage.

In the men's races, Sebastian Schubert's win in Bratislava carried him to overall victory in the K1.

Hannes Aigner and Fabian Dörfler completed a German sweep of the leading overall placings.

Germany also had overall victory to celebrate in the men's C1 series, where Sideris Tasiadis paddled well enough in Bratislava to take the title by two points, in spite of a triumph on home water for Michal Martikán, Slovakia's Olympic bronze medallist.

In C2, another home win, this time by twins Pavol and Peter Hochschorner, was not enough to deprive French pair Gauthier Klauss and Matthieu Péché of overall victory.
