27-year-old defeats Brazil’s Luana Silva in women’s finalAustralian gets revenge after narrow defeat in El Salvador
Resurgent Australian Isabella Nichols has claimed the biggest victory of her surfing career by downing young Brazilian star Luana Silva in the women’s final at Bells Beach.
Earlier this month, Nichols made the agonising choice not to attend her twin sister’s wedding and shoot for surfing glory instead in El Salvador. The 27-year-old had reckoned tearfully that it had been the biggest sacrifice of her life.
