World Champions Meet British Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street

On 9th February 2010, the current and two-time Women’s World Water Ski Racing Champion Kim Lumley-Manchett and her observer-husband Robert met the British Prime Minister Gordon Brown at No. 10 Downing Street in London.

Kim and Robert were accompanied by Kim’s father Tom and Britain’s former Team Captain, Tony Williams. Tony, who facilitated the meeting said; “we all had a fantastic day spending two hours in Number 10 in the company of the Sports Minister, Gerry Sutcliffe. We had a tour of No. 10, tea and coffee and a five minute meeting with Gordon Brown.”

Tony added; “Having been Kim’s Team Captain for many years I felt it appropriate that the Prime Minister should meet and congratulate her on her resounding successes in Ski Racing and being a wonderful ambassador worldwide for Great Britain and the sport. I was delighted to receive a positive reply to my request and the result was the splendid day we experienced. (Tom said it was one of the best days of his life!)”
