Stephanie Gilmore Blah Blah After The Event

On her win: “I was definitely feeling the day’s strenuous efforts on my body therein the last few minutes of the heat. We did a lot of sitting and waiting, but it’s pretty difficult to stay mentally focused for the entire 40-minute final. I don’t know how I managed to get that last wave in the dying seconds. The ocean was dead flat, and then outof nowhere came this little wave and it was pretty special. I’m pretty proud of myself.”

On winning world title: “We don’t want to get too far ahead of ourselves, but I’m still sitting in No. 1 on th ratings and it’s right where I want to be. Hopefully I’ve gained a couple of points with Layne (Beachley)coming in second and not Silvana (Lima) or Sofia (Mulanovich). I really don’t want to think about it, but going into Hawaii, I’m pumped to just get on some bigger boards and some bigger waves and get some really good action going.”
