Favourite Gilmore is outpublished at 01:52 British Summer Time 26 July 2021
There's been a shock in the women's surfing after seven-time world champion Stephanie Gilmore was eliminated in the third round.
The Australian was one of the favourites for gold but it wasn't to be at Tsurigasaki Surfing Beach.
She said: "There’s so much build-up to this, it being such a historical event for surfing - just to even qualify for the Olympics was such a battle.
"This is the world’s biggest sporting stage. You want to show up and do your very best.
"I'm super disappointed that I couldn’t make it happen, but there’s always Paris [in 2024].
"I’m only 33 and there’s plenty of amazing female athletes who get up into their forties. Look at Serena Williams, she’s still doing so well. So there’s plenty of time.
