How Gilmore Can Make History
WSL
Stephanie Gilmore can wrap her arms around history at the Roxy Pro France this week. On her campaign for a record-tying seventh World Title, a win in Hossegor would seal her fate.
The math is simple. If Gilmore wins the contest, she wins the 2018 World Title and there's nothing World No. 2 Lakey Peterson can do about it. Or if Steph makes the Semifinals and finishes ahead of Peterson by at least one heat, she wins.
On the flip side, if Peterson wins the contest the race continues on to the final event of the year, the Hawaii Women's Pro.
