Gilmore faces hard road at Bells Beach If five-time world surfing champion Stephanie Gilmore wants to win the Rip Curl Pro at Bells Beach, she'll have to do it the hard way. Nursing a broken bone in her foot and even with a perfect 10 in her third round heat, the Australian couldn't advance directly to the quarter-finals on Saturday. Instead Gilmore missed out to American Courtney Conlogue, and must now surf in the fourth round against Hawaiian Malia Manuel. Gilmore has revealed she is surfing with an undisplaced foot fracture - her left foot taped up after she was injured during her surprise first round loss earlier in the week. But the 25-year-old showed little sign of discomfort in winning her second round heat, and then unleashing a sensational ride against Conlogue and Phillip Island teenager Nikki van Dijk in a high-quality third round encounter. Under the best two scores format, Gilmore's 10 still wasn't enough to win - Californian Conlogue's 8.37 and 8.17 besting Gilmore and van Dijk, who also scored a 9.3 in one of her rides. It means Gilmore will have to surf an extra sudden-death heat to make the business end of a tournament she has won three times previously. The reigning world champion has been told the injury won't get any more severe while surfing, and is prepared to bite her lip and keep surfing through the pain barrier. It's not the sort of injury that gets any worse surfing on it. It's just a case of push through the pain, grit the teeth and get through it," Gilmore said. Fellow Australian and current world No.1 Tyler Wright won both her second round and third round heats on Saturday morning. Wright's combined score of 16.83 saw off Manuel and New Zealand's Paige Hareb to launch the northern NSW surfer into the quarter-finals. Organisers are aiming to at least finish the fourth round of the women's event on Saturday, with consistent half-metre to one-metre waves expected throughout the day. Reigning Bells champion Sally Fitzgibbons will also have to win her way through the fourth round after American Lakey Peterson snatched victory late in their third round heat. With the Australian seemingly on her way directly to the quarter-finals, Peterson shredded her last wave for a brilliant 9.97 to win. Fitzgibbons will now take on Hawaiian Alana Blanchard later on Saturday for a place in the last eight.
