MICK GANA EN BELLS, KELLY 1º EN EL MUNDIAL

Impresionante final entre Mick y Kelly pero esta vez la balanza se inclina sobre el 3 veces campeón del mundo Mick. A pesar de que Kelly sacó el único 10 en todo el campeonato con un aéreo increíble, no fue suficiente para batir a Mick quien estuvo imparable. Kelly se pone de nuevo en la cabeza del mundial... seguirá todo el año? veremos a ver; la próxima cita en Brasil dentro de un mes.



Mick Fanning (AUS), 30, has claimed the 2012 Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach presented by Ford Ranger over reigning 11-time ASP World Champion Kelly Slater (USA), 40, in offshore three-to-five foot (1 – 1.5 metre) waves at Bells Beach.

Event No. 2 of 10 on the 2012 ASP World Championship Tour, the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach culminated in dramatic fashion today with pundits calling it the “best Final in event history.”

The Australian and American went blow for blow throughout the 35-minute bout, exchanging massive scores and the lead several times before the dust settled.

“I’m so pumped,” Fanning said. “Kelly (Slater) did that Hail Mary for the 10 and I thought, ‘oh, here we go.’ I just caught waves and I’m stoked it all paid off. I’m really at a loss for words and I’m just pumped. It doesn’t get any sweeter. The crowd’s been amazing with the whole amphitheater and the history that comes with it. I always picture this event and have had some seconds over the years, so to get this one, I’m so pumped.”

Today’s win marked Fanning’s 14th elite tour win and his first Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach win since 2001. It also brings the Australian’s record with Slater closer to even at 7 to Kelly’s 8 in their heat matchup history.

Saludos a todos!
