This year has definitely been a challenge, there is a lot of talent and all the girls are really excited and fired up, they want it and I think that makes for great competition.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Four times ASP World Champion Stephanie Gilmore, (AUS), 23, showed a devastating return to form during her Round 3 \\u2018nail-bitter\\u2019. The current ASP World No. 5 asserting her dominance over ASP World Tour rookie Tyler Wright (AUS) and Melanie Bartels (HAW) with the day\\u2019s highest scoring ride of the day a 9.8 (out of ten) for a combined 17.85 (out of 20.00) heat total.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cI\\u2019ve been watching Sally (Fitzgibbons) and Carissa (Moore) getting nines every heat consecutively through the last four events, so I was really hunting for some bigger scores,\\u201d Gilmore said. \\u201cI think those were some of the better waves I\\u2019ve had all year. It felt good to have your heart racing and to push yourself over the ledge. It\\u2019s a pretty good feeling and I\\u2019m stoked with that performance.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;While Wright set the challenge with a near perfect 9.00 ride (out of ten), Gilmore answered back with a series of power gauges and off-the-lip hacks to advance into the Quarterfinals and a step closer to defending her Commonwealth Bank Beachley Classic title.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cIt\\u2019s definitely about winning as much as you can no matter what you\\u2019re coming on the ratings,\\u201c Gilmore continued.  \\u201cThis event is really the climax halfway through the year, it\\u2019s the most important event because if you haven\\u2019t done well then you really need to win here to gain some ground and if you\\u2019re leading, then you want to feel more comfortable about your lead with a win here.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;ASP ratings leader Sally Fitzgibbons, (AUS), 20, bounced back after her shock round one defeat, posting a 9.15 during Round 3 to advance into the Quarterfinals with a 16.15 (out of 20.00) ahead of Courtney Conlogue (USA) and Sofia Mulanovich (PER). \\u201cI\\u2019ve had a few surfs now to get into the swing of things,\\u201d Fitzgibbons said. \\u201cThis morning I didn\\u2019t get the best of the exchanges but by the third round I felt like I\\u2019d found my spot in the line-up and I was just having fun out there.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;With flowing lines and fantastic technique Fitzgibbons\\u2019 consistently excellent scores including a 9.00 and 9.25 in Round 2, made her a recognised threat for the business end of the competition. And, with two consecutive victories at Bells and in New Zealand, Fitzgibbons will be looking to cement her status as ratings leader with another strong result in Sydney.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cGetting all those seconds in a row gives you a chance to build up your artillery and work on your weaknesses. I\\u2019ve just been trying to convert what I\\u2019ve learned from losing into winning, it\\u2019s been working and I will keep on that track and try to make it back onto the winner\\u2019s podium at this event.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Inspired by the overhead conditions, Silvana Lima, (BRA), 26, set out to match the bigger surf with even bigger performances, attacking the set waves with huge floater reentries to slam a 9.50 on the scoreboard.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cI was just thinking to myself I have to match the waves with the scores, so I just punched the waves, I put my hand on the board and tried to go for one big maneuver after the next,\\u201d Lima said. \\u201cI wanted to get a ten point ride but I\\u2019m stoked to move into the Quarterfinals.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;While the large surf rewarded some, ASP Women\\u2019s World Tour campaigner Rebecca Woods (AUS), 26, suffered a painful injury to her left knee during an unfortunate accident in the shore-break, that forced her to exit the water halfway through her round 2 heat.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cI caught that wave, it was such a good wave and I saw that last section and knew I had to hit it to up my score,\\u201d Woods said.  \\u201cI went for it on the last turn and came down over my board and my knee went backwards against itself. I felt my knee pop and was instantly really sore. It\\u2019s looking like it\\u2019s a medial tear so I just have to figure out if its one, two or three. I really want to go to Brasil, I need a strong result so see what happens.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;figure id=\\\"attachment_1000129908\\\" style=\\\"width: 225px\\\" class=\\\"wp-caption alignleft\\\"&gt;&lt;a rel=\\\"attachment wp-att-1000129908\\\" href=\\\"\\/1000129905\\/photos\\/commonwealth-bank-beachley-classic-day-1-photos-and-video\\/attachment\\/chelsea-hedges\\/\\\"&gt;&lt;img class=\\\"size-org wp-image-1000129908\\\" title=\\\"chelsea-hedges\\\" src=\\\"\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2011\\/05\\/chelsea-hedges.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"Chelsea Hedges.
