Welsh Para-canoeist Laura Sugar has added the KL3 European title to her Olympic and World Championship crowns.
The 34-year-old achieved the feat for Great Britain at the ECA Canoe Sprint and Paracanoe European Championships in Racice, Czechia.
The win was part of a table-topping medal tally of nine for the British team.
Sugar beat French rival Nelia Barbossa by 1.747 seconds while Spain's Maria Jimenez won bronze and previous title-holder Araceli Menduina, also of Spain, was fifth.
Sugar secured a hat-trick of world titles at the Para-canoe World Championships in Duisburg, Germany in 2023.
The following year, she added Paralympic gold in Paris, again defending her status.
