Chippington's compatriot Emma Wiggs also won gold along with Javier Reja of Spain and the Ukraine's Oleksandr Hrechko.

But it was the 43-year-old Chippington, a former swimmer who won 12 Paralympic medals, including two gold at Atlanta 1996, who was the dominant canoeist on the water in Germany as the sport continues its preparations for its Games debut at Rio 2016.

Her medal haul began in the V1 200 metres A [arms], as she finished ahead of Australia's Kara Kennedy and Anne Yoshida of the United States, and she followed that up with top spot in the V1 200m TA [trunk and arms] with Megan Blunk of the US and Brazil's Tamara Oliveira Da Silva of Brazil taking silver and bronze respectively.

The Maidenhead canoeist completed her gold medal haul when she finished ahead of the Ukraine's Svitlana Kupriianova and Russian Alexandra Dupik in the K1 200m A race.

"On the start line it's very lonely, thoughts start going through your mind, why am I doing this?," said Chippington, who made the switch from swimming to canoeing in 2011 and had already bagged six world titles before this year's Championships.

"But when you get that gold medal you realise what it's all for."

World Championship debutant Yoshida said she was proud of her bronze fist time out and vowed that she would only get better the more time she spends on the water.

"This is my first world sprints and I won a medal, so that's great," said the 34-year-old.

"But I still know that from this point on, it's only going to get better.

"I'm only going to get more fit.

"It proves to me that anybody, a person with a disability or with no disability, they can get to this point, if they just work hard."

It was gold for another British woman in the K1 200m TA event as Wiggs powered her way to victory finishing just ahead of Blunk, who picked up her second silver of the day, with Nataliia Lagutenko of the Ukraine in third.

Wiggs, the reigning European champion denied the American top spot by just five-hundredths-of-a-second.

"I feel absolutely incredible," said 33-year-old Wiggs, who was a member of the Britain's sitting volleyball that finished eighth at London 2012.

"I feel really, really worn-out, but I am absolutely chuffed."
