Stephanie Gilmore Claims Victory at the Roxy Pro  |  française ci-dessous

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 8 March, 2010 : - - Rip Curl’s Stephanie Gilmore has kick started her quest for a fourth consecutive world crown in perfect style by taking out the season-opening event at Snapper Rocks today in front of a raucous hometown crowd.

In punchy 2-3 foot waves, the reigning three-time ASP World Champion was able to capture an early heat lead and defeat Hawaiian veteran Melanie Bartels in the final, claiming her third title at Snapper Rocks.

"It's definitely a dream start," Gilmore said. "I didn't really expect to win here. The waves weren't so great. I definitely didn't put in as incredible performance as I would have wanted to, and I'm sure Mel (Bartels) has the same feeling, but at the end of the day, I'm happy to win, that's awesome!"

Gilmore first won her hometown event as a 17-year-old wildcard in 2005 and claimed top honors again in 2009. The defending event champion led from start to finish in the 30-minute decider, posting a solid 6.83 on her very first ride and later adding a 5.57 to give her a combined two-wave score of 12.40 out of a possible 20.

Bartels tried hard but never seriously challenged the champ, managing only a 6.33 and a 4.03 for a combined two-wave score of 10.36. "I was definitely really relaxed but kind of nervous at the same time - just a little mixture of feelings," Gilmore said. "As defending event champ and defending world champ, I guess it put some pressure on me to win this event so it feels god to win."

Gilmore maintains her lead on the ASP Women’s World Tour rankings as she heads into the second event of the year, the Rip Curl Pro Surf & Music Festival at Bells Beach from March 30 to April 5.

Stephanie Gilmore remporte le Roxy Pro à Snapper

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 8 March, 2010 : - - La course pour un 4ème titre mondial vient tout juste de commencer pour Stephanie Gilmore qui remporte la première étape du World Tour à Snapper Rock. Dans de petites conditions de 2-3 pieds, la triple championne du monde ASP a rapidement pris la tête de la finale face à l’hawaiienne Melanie Bartels, et remporte sa troisième victoire à Snapper Rocks.

« Le rêve recommence. Je ne m’attendais pas à remporter ce contest. Les vagues n’étaient pas exceptionnelles, je n’ai pas fait une finale incroyable comme je l’aurais souhaité, et je pense que Mel (Bartels) a le même sentiment, mais à la fin de la journée, je suis ravie d’avoir gagné, c’est génial ! » nous confie Stephanie.

En 2005, Gilmore avait remporté cet événement à domicile à l’âge de 17 ans en tant que wildcard et s’était vue remettre les honneurs en 2009. Stephanie a rapidement pris la tête de cette finale (de 30 minutes), en scorant une première vague à 6.83, puis un 5.57 pour une combinaison à 12.40 (sur 20).

Bartels a difficilement essayé de rattraper son retard, mais ne réussira qu’à avoir une combinaison de 10.36.  « J’étais plutôt détendue mais un peu nerveuse en même temps. Championne en titre à Snapper et Championne du monde, je suppose que je me mets un peu de pression. Mais la victoire me permet de souffler un peu, et c’est très agréable. » nous avoue Stephanie.

Stephanie Gilmore prend la tête du classement de l’ASP Women’s World Tour 2010 et remettra en jeu son titre lors du Rip Curl Pro Surf & Music Festival à Bells Beach du 30 mars au 5 avril.
