Surfing: History-making Tyler Wright becomes world's No.1-ranked surfer

Tyler Wright made history in Hawaii on Sunday to become the world's No.1-ranked surfer after winning the Maui Pro, which had been moved due to a fatal shark attack. Wright is the first-ever women's WSL event winner at the famed Pipeline break after the event, which was initially scheduled for Honolua Bay was moved to Hawaii's Banzai Pipeline following a shark attack two weeks ago on a local surfer. The 26-year-old eliminated fellow Australian Sally Fitzgibbons in the semi-finals and then beat four-time world champion Carissa Moore in the final to win her first WSL title since 2017 after three disrupted years on the circuit. In a tight final where few waves were ridden, Wright managed to win by 1.1 points, coming away with a two-wave score of 8.34. The Australian scored 3.17 in the final moments to secure the win.
