A woman from England has claimed victory in an annual trans-Atlantic pancake-flipping race against competitors in a Kansas city.

Katie Godor, from Olney, in Buckinghamshire, ran the 71st International Pancake Day race with a time of 1:06 seconds. That just beat the time of Whitney Hay, who ran the Liberal, Kansas, race in a time of 1.09 seconds.
