Riding a new wave of equality

Aussie star Stephanie Gilmore at vanguard of efforts to close gender pay gap, as Associated Press reports.

If Australia's Stephanie Gilmore captures the gold medal when surfing makes its Olympic debut two years from now, it might not be her most meaningful win.

Gilmore, who is talked about as possibly the greatest athlete of all time in her sport, takes pride in being on the ground floor in the fight for a prize that could have a longer-lasting impact: equal pay for women on her professional tour.
