Carol Ashby

Carol Ashby is a retired six times world indoor bowls champion from England who holds Australian citizenship. She won the women's singles title at the World Indoor Bowls Championship in 2002, 2003 and 2004, and added three mixed pairs titles in 2005, 2006 and 2010. The 2005 and 2006 mixed pairs wins were with John Price of Wales, and in 2010 she partnered Alex Marshall of Scotland. She drew as much press coverage for her image as for her results, even as a three times world singles champion. In 2014, while living in Australia, she married the Scottish international bowler Graeme Archer, and in 2015 she retired from bowls.
