Uebing was disqualified after failing to beat the time limit in the final event which left Beams with a shot at the overall title alongside American Martha King.

While Beams set a time of 40.61 seconds, King claimed the heat and the overall title with ease after delivering a time of 36.80 seconds, which is also a national record.

After claiming second place overall on the International Women Cup, Beams was reflective on her European tournament, which had been postponed twice after originally planned for 2020.

"It is amazing to be here in Austria and being able to come over from Down Under. The competition was great, my expectation was a bit higher than that but it was a great day," she said.
