"… I'm sick of coming second"

Athlete Sofia Mulanovich Todd Cooper Barnes

As the world’s current Number One, Sofia Mulanovich will be competing in the Movistar Classic Mancora, where, between November 3 and 8, she wants to get closer to her goal of winning her second WC title since 2004. The 25-year-old Peruvian talks about her upcoming home-turf event.

The Movistar Classic Mancora is my favorite event at the ASP Women’s World Tour because …

… it’s in my country and will mean surfing one of the best waves this year’s tour has to offer.

That I’m competing as the current world Number One in Peru for me means ...

… that I’ll have extra confidence knowing that I’ve got the support of my family and country. Also knowing that I have a good points lead going into the contest.

The best thing about a home-turf event is ...

… surfing one of my favorite waves in front of my family, friends and the people of Peru. It’s a good feeling to be able to bring the WCT to the country.

I’m going to be at the top of the podium at the Movistar Classic Mancora because ...

… I love this wave, will get lots of energy from the Peruvian people and because I want it.

What is going to bring me luck for a home victory will be ...

… I can’t tell you that.

The greatest thing about my homeland Peru is ...

… the people, the energy and the pride, and, of course, the waves.

For me surfing means ...

… happiness. It’s what I love doing, what I was meant to do.

Following 2004, this year I’m going to be women’s surfing World Champion again because ...

… I’m sick of coming second.

Today in ten years I’m going to be …

… teaching my children how to surf.
