SHE has a gold medal and the admiration of her teammates to prove it but now Charlotte Caslick’s position as the best female sevens player in the world is confirmed — even if it’s a little embarrassing for her.

The 21-year old on Monday was named Women’s Sevens Player of the Year by World Rugby.

“It’s hard as a team player to get individual awards but it’s pretty awesome,’’ said modest Caslick.

“I actually think there are other girls in my team more deserved than me. I would have voted for them first.’

The award ended an unsuccessful run by the Australian in attempting to win the most prestigious award in sevens rugby.

Caslick had twice previously been nominated but been edged out for the honour.
