"Stephanie Gilmore (AUS), 22,
reigning three-time ASP Women’s World
Champion and defending event winner, has
taken out the 2010 Roxy Pro Gold Coast in
punchy two-to-three foot (1 metre) waves
at Snapper Rocks over fellow Finalist Melanie
Bartels (HAW), 27.
The opening event of the 2010 ASP Women’s
World Tour season, the Roxy Pro Gold Coast
enjoyed an exciting final day of competition,
culminating in Gilmore’s emphatic
win in front of a raucous hometown crowd.
In a déjà vu version
of last year’s event, the Australian
and Hawaiian squared off once again in the
Final, with Gilmore taking the win and the
dream start to her 2010 campaign for a fourth
ASP Women’s World Title." -
