### World Cup Race 4

The penultimate world cup race took place in Tacen, Slovenia from 16 to 18 August. The organizers were forced to re-run the final races of the women's K1 event and the men's C2 event due to troubles with the water level. For the same reason the team events in these 2 disciplines have been cancelled. The women's C1 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 K1 and the C1 event, becoming the first female paddler to win both events at one world cup race.
