Surfing champion Stephanie Gilmore is expected to attend the Laureus World Sports Awards this week in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates since she has been nominated once more for the “Action Sportsperson of the Year” award. She also endorses swimwear brands and is known for her swimsuits.

The OXY Pro champion is based in Gold Coast Australia and has been one of the most prominent figures in surfing.

Gilmore just won the season-opening women’s world tour event last weekend and a victory at the ceremony doubles the fun.

The surfing hero has been nominated in this category for the past two years. However, she lost the honors to American snowboarding champion Shaun White in 2008 and surfing great Kelly Slater last year.

Her fellow nominees for this year include surfing guru Mick Fanning, windsurfer Antoine Albeau from France, skateboarder Chris Cole from the United States, wavesurfer Greg Long of the United States and cyclist Danny MacAskill of the United Kingdom.
