ROCHDALE’S Selenia Guadagno in action.
Selenia skis to world champions’ best for GB
30/ 9/2005
ROCHDALE'S Selenia Guadagno was among top athletes from around Great Britain who became World Champions with the largest ever score recorded by a country in disabled tournament water skiing.
The small but strong team of seven water skiers shone at Schoten in Belgium during the World Disabled Water Ski Championships in which they took on 16 other countries - including their strongest opponents, USA, winners at the last Worlds in Florida two years ago.
Selenia, a double leg amputee, took bronze in the jump section, silver in the slalom and silver overall, which moves her up to second place in the world rankings in her category.
"I'd like to say a huge thanks to everyone who donated money in order for me to get to the World Championships," she said. "And of course to my coach Andy Knowles, because without his fantastic coaching and support I would never have got to where I am today."
Selenia is still looking for a long-term sponsor to help towards the cost of equipment and for training abroad over the winter months.
Anyone interested can email Selenia on ellie1981@msn.com.
