At 71, Kiwi athlete Sharon Prutton has been crowned world champion for a 13th time – in her fourth different sporting event. Coached by her son, she tells Suzanne McFadden she has even more sports challenges on her horizon.
Sharon Prutton lives by a motto coined by a friend: ‘Keep the old woman out’.
“I mix with like-minded people, and we all try to keep the old women out,” says Prutton, who takes an almost daily dip at dawn in the nippy waters around Christchurch. “I need to keep moving, keep doing things.”
Bless.
