Based on a rolling 12 months results Zara has achieved the coveted No 1 position on the ISWC Womens Speed ranking.

Zara has slowly clawed her way up the ranking list by consistent performances at international events like the European Championships which she won in Ireland last year.

It is a bitter sweet victory though as the upcoming World Championships at the legendary site of Sotovento has been cancelled due to the recession. Zara said “ It is great to be ranked No 1 in the world but it’s the world championships I was looking forward to, It attracts all the top girls and It would have been great to achieve the World title on a level playing field”

There are still 3 more events to go in 2010 including her home event at Weymouth England and with some good results she hopes to stay in the No 1 spot for some time to come.
