Otley Athletic Club's Caroline Marler won the World Masters Indoor Pentathlon Championship for women aged 55 and over in Linz, Austria.
She won easily, by about 350 points from the second placed athlete. Her points total was 4350, which was the highest of all the age groups at the championship. She was also set to compete in the individual shot put and 400m.
Caroline set a world age record (for 55 year-old women) as over 3000 athletes from more than 60 countries took part in the championships.
Caroline's world record was set in the 400 metres, where she ran 66.8 seconds, 0.1 inside the previous world record and over two seconds ahead of the second placed runner.
She won the pentathlon (60m hurdles, shot, high jump, long jump and 800m) by a huge margin, nearly 500 more than the second-placed athlete.
Caroline also continues to hold the world record for 800m (women 45) that she set some years ago.
