Australian paddling great Jess Fox has won the 21st world championship medal of her unparalleled career - but the 13-time slalom canoeing champion had to settle for the canoe bronze at the sport's showpiece event in London.
Penrith's Olympic champion in the C1 event paid for an early mistake in her final run at the Lee Valley Whitewater Centre and ended up finishing third behind the British pair of gold medallist Mallory Franklin and second-placed Kimberley Woods.
It was a close-run affair with 29-year-old Fox the fastest to complete the course in 106.94 seconds but the two penalty seconds she gleaned from touching the third gate meant she lost out to the home duo - Franklin by 0.89 and Woods by 0.47- who both had flawless runs.
