POWERBOAT racer Daisy Coleman left everyone in her wake to take the Senior Ladies crown after a superb season.
With her brother Sam, they qualified for the inaugural P1 World Championship in Mumbai and against stiff competition were crowned champions.
The brother and sister combined returned home and retained their British crown for the second year running.
Coleman said: “It came as a huge surprise to win and a real honour against the high esteem of athletes I was up against.”
This year, Daisy and her brother are hoping to race in the United States of America, if they can secure enough sponsorship which will give them a chance of winning the title. The UK series takes a break this year and the pair are looking at other options to race abroad.
Coleman said: “I have been racing for seven years and I am happy with what we have achieved.”
England’s strongest women for the second year running Farah Fonseca was second, with British champion kickboxer Elizabeth Ferioli came third.
Elizabeth was also crowned the Ladies Veteran winner and the 42-year-old from Winklebury said: “I am currently third in the world and want to get that number one spot in WAKO which is the biggest federation. This year it is also the Europeans.”
