Northern Ireland's Janet Gray has successfully retained her World Blind Water-Ski title in Altamonte Springs in Florida. The 38-year-old from Co Down took gold medals in the three disciplines of slalom, tricks and jumps to take the overall top prize for the third time in succession.
She established new world records in the Tricks and Jumps sections and a European record in the Slalom which she won in a thrilling ski-off.
