Microsoft Excel World Champion

A 15 years old British schoolgirl is the new "Microsoft Excel World Champion"

A 15 years old British school girl Rebecca Rickwood has won a global competition to find the best user of Microsoft’s Excel 2007. 

Rebecca, who is 15, was one of 228,000 competitors from 57 countries. She beat 78 students in the final round. Competitors were required to perform timed tests to demonstrate their skill at making spreadsheets. Rebecca was presented with her $5000 prize last week at a ceremony in San Diego, California.

Competitors performed timed tests to demonstrate their skill at making spreadsheets, reports the BBC, and Rebecca Rickwood, 15, clinched the $5,000 (around £3,000) prize in the Excel 2007 category of the Microsoft Office World Championships without making a single mistake.

She said: “I heard my name read out in first place and I just couldn’t believe it. I’m ecstatic, I just can’t believe I won and now I’m world champion. It’s a day I’ll never forget.”

Rebecca is a pupil at Sawtry Community College, Cambridgeshire, a specialist maths and computing secondary school.
