Weston-Webb also secured her quota for Santiago 2023 while in El Salvador and is now looking ahead to more victories and her ultimate goal, winning gold at the Olympic Games.
“Surfing is soaring and with it now being in the Olympics…it’s just elevated our sport to a different level," she said. "It’s given people from all over the world dreams to be Olympic gold medallists and for me, that’s my biggest dream so I’m going to keep fighting until I can hopefully get one.”
Weston-Webb made solid progress through the competition, never leaving the main round, but it looked like her dominant run would end in the final. She trailed in the back of the four-woman heat and struggled to catch a good wave until posting double 7.50 scores in the final minutes.
