Rio Olympian and World ranked number 2 Ashleigh Gentle added to her list of accolades last night, winning the Mayor’s Sports Award.
 
Presented at the Gold Coast’s Annual Sports Star of the Year Awards Gentle was honoured at being recognised with such an honour in her home city.

The City of Gold Coast Mayor’s Sports Award not only recognises an athlete of international standing, but it also acknowledges that this athlete has been an outstanding ambassador for the Gold Coast.

Gentle was also one of seven nominated for Sports Star of the Year, which was won for the fourth consecutive time by Sally Pearson.
