Katie Nutt is competing at the International Water ski and Wakeboard Federation Junior European Championships in Rome today after a whirlwind week.

Nutt, 14, from Standlake, was first reserve for Great Britain’s Under 17 squad, but received a last-minute call-up after a member of the team suffered an injury in training.

The news came just days after Nutt, who trains at Oxford Wake and Ski Club, took slalom gold in the National Championships at Gosfield Lake, Essex.

Nutt slalomed two-and-a-half buoys at 13 metres to win the title.

She also took silver in the trick event, and jump, setting a new personal best of 24m, as well as finishing second overall.

Her exploits did not stop there, as the Bartholomew School pupil qualified for all three finals in the Open category.

She took bronze after negotiating four buoys at 13m.
