Conditions were too rough for the full course but Celia Kent still managed to take to the water on her monoboard
A woman from north London has marked her 80th birthday in a "thrilling" manner by slalom waterskiing. Celia Kent, from Islington, had hoped to take on the full course at her club in West Sussex, but strong winds forced her to stick to a more sheltered bay on Ivy Lake.James ElliottShe said everyone at the Chichester club was supportive: “There’s no feeling that you’re an old bat who shouldn’t be down here."
Ms Kent's coach, Brett Hodgkins - who has World, European and British titles in waterskiing and wakeboarding - said his octogenarian protegee "transcends time with her agility and her ability to be on a slalom ski, she’s amazing”.A charity urges men to take an online test to see if they should see their GP about prostate cancer.
