Lisa Carrington has won again, blitzing her competition in the K1 200m Final at the World Cup event in Portugal.

The Olympic Champion extends her winning streak to 13 in international competition at the 200m distance  after dominating the race from start to finish ending in a time of 40.5 second, almost a full second ahead of Marta Walczykiewicz from Poland.

For the previous fortnight Carrington has been training in Munich with coach Gordon Walker, skipping the second World Cup in the Czech Republic to focus on this event. 

Walker was happy with the progress. "We've got a training block planned between now and Rio and whatever happens at these World Cups won't change that," he said.

Carrington has also qualified for the K1 500m final which will be run later tonight.
