SYDNEY (Reuters) â Stephanie Gilmore has just about done it all in surfing since exploding onto the professional scene as a 19-year-old rookie in 2007, when she won the first of her seven World Championship titles.
The sportâs Olympic debut this year has offered the Australian a fresh challenge and while standing on top of the podium in Japan would probably surpass a record-breaking eighth world title, the hyper-competitive 33-year-old wants it all.
âOf course Iâd want to do both, thatâd be awesome if I could win eight world titles and gold medal. Thatâd be unreal,â Gilmore told Reuters at Narrabeen during the professional World Surf Leagueâs recent Australian leg.
