This is a dream come true. I can\\u2019t believe that I won. When I woke up this morning, I never imagined that this would happen.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;While her opponent Hamilton exhibited patience throughout the day, Ado wasted no time in busying herself on both the lefts and rights in the Final, and although the lead flipped back-and-forth, it was the young Frenchwoman who sealed the deal with a solid 13.43 out of a possible 20.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=\\\"\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2009\\/01\\/06\\/bethanyhamilton5_n.jpg\\\"&gt;&lt;img class=\\\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1000077510\\\" title=\\\"bethanyhamilton5_n\\\" src=\\\"\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2009\\/01\\/06\\/bethanyhamilton5_n.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"Bethany Hamilton Billabong ASP World Junior Championships\\\" width=\\\"500\\\" height=\\\"328\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;\\/a&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cI didn\\u2019t watch Bethany (above) on her last wave, but I could hear the crowd and the commentators in the background,\\u201d Ado said. \\u201cI thought she had won, but luckily for me, it wasn\\u2019t the case.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Ado now joins the prestigious ranks of past ASP World Junior Champions Jessi Miley-Dyer (AUS), 22, Nicola Atherton (AUS), 22, and Sally Fitzgibbons (AUS), 18 \\u2013 all three past champions qualifying for the prestigious ASP Women\\u2019s World Tour within one season of claiming the Billabong ASP World Junior Championships.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cI have so much confidence now going into 2009,\\u201d Ado said. \\u201cI really want to do well in the ASP WQS and hopefully qualify for the ASP Women\\u2019s World Tour, but for now, I\\u2019m just stoked to be ASP World Junior Champion.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;In addition to being crowned ASP World Junior Champion, Ado will also receive a guaranteed seed into the second-to-last seeded round of all ASP WQS events in 2009, giving the young natural-footer a great advantage as she vies for a position on the elite ASP Women\\u2019s World Tour in 2010.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Hamilton, who suffered the loss of her left arm during a Tiger Shark attack at home in Kauai in 2003, put in an inspirational performance today, besting heavy event favorites Laura Enever (AUS), 17, and Leila Hurst (HAW), 16, before falling short to Ado in the Final.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cI\\u2019m really happy with my performance at this event,\\u201d Hamilton said. \\u201cTo make the Final is really good for me. I haven\\u2019t had a good result in a while so hopefully this will give me some confidence for the rest of the year. I think my nerves got the better of me in the Final. I should\\u2019ve made a couple of turns where I fell. I\\u2019m kind of bummed about that last wave, but I guess that\\u2019s surfing.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Courtney Conlogue (USA), 16, was in sensational form today, netting the event high heat total of an 18.23 out of a possible 20 in the Quarterfinals to dispatch of 2009 ASP Dream Tour rookie Paige Hareb (NZL), 18, before losing out to Ado in the Semifinals.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cI\\u2019m bummed, but when you look at it, it\\u2019s a great result even though I got the same as last year,\\u201d Conlogue said. \\u201cI\\u2019m happy with my result. It\\u2019s a great start to the year, but the Final would have been even better. Hopefully now I can follow through and have a strong year.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Hurst joined Conlogue in their equal 3rd place finishes at the Billabong ASP World Junior Championships, and the young Hawaiian is looking forward to year of competition as she aims for a shot at the prestigious ASP Women\\u2019s World Tour.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cThis year will be a big year doing all the ASP Pro Junior events and some ASP WQS events,\\u201d Hurst said. \\u201cI just got knocked in the last minutes when Bethany (Hamilton) got a 6, but it\\u2019s a great start to the year. This is my best result here at the Billabong ASP World Junior Championships after three years.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;While the women\\u2019s competition has completed at North Narrabeen, the men will push on, beginning with Round 4 when competition recommences.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Event organizers will reconvene tomorrow morning at 7:30am for a possible 8am start.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Highlights from today\\u2019s Billabong ASP World Junior Championships will be available via www.billabongpro.com with Heats on Demand accessible in the VIDEO section.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;For more information, log onto &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.aspworldtour.com\\\"&gt;www.aspworldtour.com&lt;\\/a&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BILLABONG ASP WORLD JUNIORS (WOMEN) FINAL:&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n1 \\u2013 Pauline Ado (FRA) 13.43&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n2 \\u2013 Bethany Hamilton (HAW) 12.47&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nBILLABONG ASP WORLD JUNIORS (WOMEN) SEMIFINAL RESULTS:&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nSF 1: Pauline Ado (FRA) 12.17 def.
