Marie Buchanan has been paddleboarding internationally since 2012

Marie Buchanan won her second gold medal at the ICF Stand Up Paddling World Championships after taking the 50+ Masters technical title.

Buchanan, from Salcombe, was almost 15 seconds ahead of New Zealand's Marlene Bergh in the final in Thailand.

Having won silver in the same category in 2022, she added it to the long distance title she won on Friday for a second successive year in Pattaya.

She had already claimed a sixth-placed finish in the sprint events this year.
