KAYAK:Fox paddles back to top of podium after rare miss

A day after bombing in the kayak heats, Australia's Olympic great Jessica Fox has shown steely resolve to rebound to take gold in the canoe slalom World Cup event in Germany.

Arriving in Augsburg after claiming the golden double at the previous round in Prague, Fox had to refocus after finishing 16th in the standings in the kayak event on Friday and missing the final.

Despite posting a time that would have placed her sixth, she was pinged for hitting the second and 13th gates.

On the comeback trail after surgery to remove a tumour from her kidney nine months ago, Fox was back to her best in the canoe - the event in which she has won two Olympic golds.
