SEIGNOSSE, France (Friday, Sept. 1, 2006) \u0096 World No. 2 Melanie Redman-Carr (AUS) and world No. 3 Chelsea Georgeson (AUS) will surf the event\u0092s first elimination round when the Rip Curl Pro Mademoiselle reconvenes at Seignosse. Both surfers finished third in their Round 1 heats at Les Estagnots today.Early morning conditions were perfect; a building four-foot swell and offshore winds were a welcome sight for the ASP Women\u0092s World Tour surfers who had to surf the often closed-out waves of Brazil last week. Unfortunately for Redman-Carr, the wind whipped onshore right before her heat and she was unable to advance over Brazil\u0092s Silvana Lima and French wildcard Pauline Ado.<\/p>\n
Ado, who is the current ASP Europe champion was pleased to advance straight to round three: “I\u0092m just very happy because they are the best girls in this contest. I got some good waves today and I hope I can continue to do well in the rest of my heats.”<\/p>\n
Only surfers who finish third in Round 1 have to surf Round 2 \u0096 two three woman heats in which the third place surfer is eliminated. Round 1 first and second place finishers automatically move to Round 3.<\/p>\n
Redman-Carr, who won the first three events of the year, was forced to surf Round 2 in Brazil last week as well. She lost her heat, finished equal 17th and relinquished her ratings lead to Layne Beachley (AUS).<\/p>\n
Georgeson, who is surfing on borrowed boards because her boards were lost in transit from Brazil, will join Redman-Carr in the unenviable Round 2 club. Both surfers are in jeopardy of hindering their world title campaigns should they fail to advance to Round 3.<\/p>\n
Only one surfer has won each of her Round 1 heats to advance directly to Round 3 this year. That surfer is Jessi Miley-Dyer, who with a runner-up finish in Brazil, now sits fourth on the ratings. Miley-Dyer beat Jacquline Silva (BRA) and Georgeson today.<\/p>\n
“I really don\u0092t want to be surfing in that second round – more than anything,\u0094 Miley-Dyer said. \u0093I\u0092ve had good Round 1 heats all year and have been kind of lucky. For this one I was just happy to get one good wave and get through. I\u0092m stoked.”<\/p>\n
Also winning her heat today was former world champion Sofia Mulanovich (PER). Mulanovich, who was leading the ratings this time last year, sits equal 8th at present. Surfing in one of the early morning heats while the wind was still offshore, the Peruvian posted the day\u0092s highest heat total of a 15.75 out of a possible 20. She was stoked with the conditions after surfing in less desirable conditions last week.<\/p>\n
“It feels good to surf here because there is more time to go down to the bottom and turn it hard off the top,\u0094 Mulanovich said. \u0093I\u0092m pretty happy. Everytime I say I\u0092m feeling good though I lose my next heat so I\u0092m not even going to say it anymore! I\u0092m just happy to have made it through.”<\/p>\n
Indications are strong that Rounds 2 and 3 will run tomorrow, Saturday, Sept. 2, 2006.<\/p>\n
