Rip Curl's Stephanie Gilmore claims her second World Title

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 2 December, 2008 : - - Stephanie ‘Happy’ Gilmore has more to be happy about. Only 12 months after re-writing history as the only rookie - male or female - to claim an ASP World Title, the 20-year-old Australian has backed things up with yet another ASP Women's World Title by emphatically winning the Roxy Pro at Sunset Beach, O'ahu, the second jewel of the Vans Triple Crown.

The prodigious regularfoot, hailing from Australia's Gold Coast, has continued to pad her legacy as one of the most naturally gifted female talents of her sport. With one event remaining for the 2008 season, Steph has already netted 4 major event wins.  Coming into Sunset, Steph held a slight ratings leads over former World Champions Sofia Mulanovich (PER) and Layne Beachley (AUS).

“I had no idea this was going to happen today when I woke up this morning,” Gilmore said. “Sofia went down and then Layne went down and I found myself in the Final with a chance to clinch it. It feels unbelievable....The second World Title definitely feels better than the first one,” Gilmore added. “I’m going to savor this one for a while and then readjust my goals for next year. There should be big celebrations on for tonight.”

And big celebrations there were. Amongst a varied cast of family, friends, fellow competitors, and Rip Curl crew, the World Title celebration lit up the North Shore skies.

Rip Curl congratulates Stephanie Gilmore for this monumental achievement. Check out Steph's world champion microsite at: ripcurl.com/happygilmore

STEPHANIE GILMORE REMPORTE LE TITRE DE CHAMPIONNE DU MONDE ASP 2008!

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 2 December, 2008 : - - Sunset Beach -- Stephanie Gilmore (AUS), 20 ans, vient de remporter son 2ème titre consecutive de championne du monde, en remportant le Roxy Pro à Sunset Beach, 7ème étape du circuit mondial. Dans de jolies conditions (1,5mètre), Steph gagne la finale face à la brésilienne Silvana Lima et aux australiennes Jessi Miley-Dyer et Nicola Atherton.

Cet événement était certainement le plus attendu en cette fin de saison, voyant certainement le titre mondial se jouer sur ce spot. « Je ne pensais vraiment pas que cela arriverait aujourd’hui. Sofia (Mulanovich) a été sortie en ¼ de finale, puis Layne (Beachley) en demi. En finale, je savais que je pouvais y arriver. Je suis tellement contente, je n’en reviens pas ! » nous confie Stephanie.

“Je savais que je devais remporter la finale pour gagner le titre. Silvana (Lima) a fait un début de série incroyable. Après, j’ai eu un premier bon score, il me fallait un 6, mais les conditions n’étaient pas forcément au rdv. Lorsque j’ai vu cette série arriver, j’ai su qu’elle était pour moi, j’ai ramé, quelques manœuvres et je remportais la finale et le titre mondial ! »

C’est un sans-faute pour la jeune australienne, qui réalise une nouvelle fois un exploit incroyable en remportant son 2ème titre mondial, sur ses 2 premières années sur le circuit mondial ASP. « Ce nouveau titre est définitivement le plus intense ! Je vais le savourer, le fêter plus que jamais. Cela remet un peu en cause mes objectifs pour l’année prochaine ! » nous commente Steph.

Jessi Miley-Dyer (AUS), 22 ans, score une belle performance en terminant 3ème, la propulsant à la 7ème place du classement 2008. « L’année dernière, j’avais terminé 4ème sur ce contest. Cette année, 3ème, je suis vraiment contente. J’espère faire encore mieux pour la prochaine édition. Je suis aussi tellement contente pour Steph. J’étais déjà avec elle dans l’année dernière quand elle a remporté son 1er titre. Etre encore avec elle cette année était géniale. Félicitations Steph ! » confie Jessi.

Este evento era seguramente el más esperado de este fin de temporada, lo que el titulo se jugaría a este spot.

« Sabia que tenia que ganar esa final para el titulo mundial. Silvana (Lima) hizo un buen inicio en la serie. Después, he tenido un resultado bastante bueno, necesitaba un 6, pero las olas no venían. Cuando vi a esa serie llegando, supe que era para mí. Empecé a ramear, unas maniobras y ganaba el campeonato y el titulo mundial!”

Es una nueva temporada sin falta para la joven australiana, que realiza una vez mas un resultado increíble, ganando su 2do titulo mundial, en sus 2 anos en el circuito mundial ASP. “Ese nuevo titulo está definitivamente mas fuerte! Voy a aprovechar mucho mas, celebrarlo como nunca. Pero tendré que cambiar mis objetivos para la próxima temporada!” cuenta Stephanie.
