DALLAS FRIDAY MAKES TRIUMPHANT RETURN TO SINGAPORE AS PHILIP SOVEN WINS FOR THE FOURTH TIME IN A ROW

Sunday proved to be Dallas Friday's lucky day as the crowd favourite demonstrated her return to top form by winning the women's title - her first win since breaking her left femur at last year's event at the same venue - at the Wakeboard World Cup Singapore 2007 this afternoon at Bedok Reservoir. Despite a valiant effort from American Raimi Merritt on her professional debut, Friday demonstrated her undoubted class and experience in the final to complete her spectacular comeback and earn her rightful place at the top of the podium.

"To come back here and win today was absolutely incredible, especially after the accident last year," said a visibly elated Friday following her win, which bagged her USD$8,000. "It's great to be back in Singapore, and it definitely means a lot to me to claim back the title this year.

Meanwhile in the men's competition, Phillip Soven (USA) added yet another World Cup Singapore title to his impressive list of achievements to complete an unprecedented four-peat reign in Singapore.

Up against flamboyant New Zealander Jeff Weatherall in the men's final, the 18-year-old Soven's task was made easier when the former fell on his very first pass to virtually throw away any chance of upsetting the seemingly invincible American, who walked away with the USD$15,000 top prize purse.
