Paul McCartney's former wife Heather Mills has officially become world's fastest female skier post setting a new world record.

The 47-year-old Jump star, who had lost the lower half of her left leg in 1993 after being knocked down by a motorbike, set the new record in Vars, France when she skied down a mountain at 103.6mph, the Mirror reported.

While talking to Hello! Magazine, Mills said that she felt "completely elated" and had carried a special good luck charm from her 11-year-old daughter.

She revealed that she had a special downhill-skiing outfit made, which was extremely skintight, and when she was told to wear an Alpine ski suit under it, she though it be impossible but managed it somehow.

Heather is now eyeing to compete in the Paralympics in South Korea in 2018.
