World Cup Race 4

The penultimate world cup race took place in Tacen, Slovenia. The organizers were forced to re-run the final races of the women's K-1 event and the men's C-2 event due to troubles with the water level. For the same reason the team events in these 2 disciplines have been cancelled.^[36] The women's C-1 team event did not take place due to lack of participating teams. Slovenia won 2 golds and 2 bronzes in the individual events which was enough to win the medal table. Jessica Fox won both the K-1 and the C-1 event, becoming the first slalom paddler to win both events at one world cup race.^[37]
