World champion water-skier Sarah Teelow has died following a fall during a high-speed race on Australia's Hawkesbury River.

世界滑水冠军莎拉·提露在澳大利亚霍克斯伯里河上进行的一场高速竞赛中跌落身亡。

The 112km race takes place on the Hawkesbury River, northwest of Sydney

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 spinal¹ and head injuries and later died in hospital.

Teelow won the Formula 2 category at the World Waterski Racing² Championships in Spain in September.

Ski Racing Australia described her as "one of the sport's most accomplished³ young competitors".

"The ski racing fraternity is deeply saddened by Sarah's passing and extends its condolences to her family," it said in a statement.

Teelow, from Wellington, was the daughter of two-time world water-ski champion Tania Teelow.

Local media say New South Wales police are investigating how she came off her skis.

Skiers can reach speeds of more than 130km/h (80 mph) in the 112km (70 miles) Bridge to Bridge course.
