Miley-dyer vince il billabong pro maui ma e’ di layne beachley il titolo mondial

Layne Beachley ha messo a segno un record senza precedenti nel surf femminile quando, Domenica 10 Dicembre, ha vinto il suo settimo titolo mondiale a Maui durante la finale del campionato ASP ad Honolua Bay.
Layne ha vinto il titolo dopo la sconfitta di Chelsea Georgeson ai quarti di finale per mano di Claire Bevilacqua, ed essendo la Georgeson l’unica rimasta in corsa per il titolo, Beachley si laurea automaticamente campionessa del mondo, mettendo a segno un record che solo Slater finora deteneva, con il più alto numero di titoli mondiali vinti.
Sarà interessante vedere se il prossimo anno la Beachley vorrà eguagliarlo vincendo l’ottavo titolo. “Andrò per l’ottavo e Kelly farà meglio a non vincere il nono! Altrimenti dovrò continuare.” Ha affermato la Beachley, “Penso che Kelly andrà per il decimo e se lo fa, ce la può fare!”.
Layne è stata poi eliminata in semifinale dalla nuova atleta del tour Jessi Miley-Dyer che ha poi vinto il contest.
Il tour femminile ASP 2007 tornerà a Febbraio con il primo evento del nuovo campionato in Gold Coast, Australia.
