Australian surfing great Steph Gilmore says her sport's new finals format allowed her to have a precious "grand final moment" with her eighth world title in 2022.
In a wide-ranging interview on ABC Sport's Sports Daily podcast, Gilmore recalled her dramatic win, spoke of the process of having to "switch on and switch off" her ruthless competitive streak on the water, and detailed her goals for 2023.
Gilmore will begin the defence of her title as the new WSL season begins this week with the famous Pipeline event in Hawaii.
