INTERNATIONAL stars dominated the field on day two of the 2023 Bioglan Bells Beach Longboard Classic presented by Rip Curl, as eliminations began to trim the field.<\/p>\n

Thursday\u2019s action saw both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s competitors take to the water in clean two to three-foot waves at Rincon for the elimination rounds.<\/p>\n

Sophia Culhane (HAW) kicked off the morning with a strong display of critical surfing to book her spot in the round of 16.<\/p>\n

Former world number one Chloe Calmon (BRA), Tully White (AUS) and Avalon Gall (USA) all followed suit with high scores for incredible footwork in the elimination round.<\/p>\n

Other women\u2019s elimination round winners included Maya Glasenapp (REU), Keani Canullo (HAW), Zoe Grospiron (FRA) and Kirra Molnar (AUS) also advanced.<\/p>\n

With conditions deteriorating and a strong onshore wind on the rise, the men\u2019s elimination round tested who could stay smooth in the tricky conditions.<\/p>\n

Tony Silvagni (USA) improved his chances of securing a strong result at Bells Beach, nabbing two near-excellent scores to cruise past WSL trials winner Jack Tyro (NZL).<\/p>\n

Cole Robbins (USA), Rogelio Jr Esquievel (PHL), Steven Sawyer (RSA) and Kaimana Takayama (USA) also secured strong heat totals to advance to surf against the top seeds.<\/p>\n

Local heroes Ben Considine, Molly Powell and the Mornington Peninsula’s Sam Dunton were all eliminated during the elimination rounds.<\/p>\n

Today’s surfing action followed on from an exciting opening day of the event on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Household names dominated the men\u2019s opening round including three-time world champion Taylor Jensen (USA), Declan Wyton (AUS), Kaniela Stewart (HAW) and Taka Inoue (JPN) who each claimed wins.<\/p>\n

On the women\u2019s side it was world champions Soleil Errico (USA), Honulua Blomfield (HAW) and Rachael Tilly (USA) who all staked their authority and booked a spot in the round of 16.<\/p>\n
