Australia water-ski champion Sarah Teelow dies
The 20-year-old came off her skis shortly after the start of
the Bridge to Bridge Water Ski Classic near Sydney on Sunday. She suffered
serious spinal and head injuries and later died in hospital. Teelow won the
Formula 2 category at the World Waterski Racing Championships in Spain in
September. Local media say New South Wales police are investigating how she
came off her skis. Teelow, from Wellington, was the daughter of two-time world
water-ski champion Tania Teelow. Skiers can reach speeds of more than 130km/h
(80 mph) in the 112km (70 miles) Bridge to Bridge course.
