Champion Citabria KGBC Pilot reported failure to go around with crosswind component exceeded resulted in loss of control on landing. Pilot reported regaining control with no damage to aircraft or environment.

Narrative

I ground looped my conventional gear (tail wheel) American Champion Citabria KGCBC after landing at ZZZ. On approach I had full rudder pedal deflection and was struggling to hold the runway centerline. After landing while decelerating and with full aileron into the wind; a wind gust pushed the aircraft side ways resulting in 180 degree ground loop. Somehow; I was able to keep the aircraft on all three wheels; stay on the runway and avoid hitting the runway lights. No observed damage to the aircraft; no damage to the airport facilities. No injuries. I was able to turn the plane 180 degrees back around and exit the runway to taxiway to allow commercial airlines waiting to depart to continue operations. 1. Crosswind wind shear exceeding the demonstrated crosswind capabilities of the aircraft. The demonstrated crosswind for the KGCBC is 15 knots. The crosswind at time of landing was 17 knots gusts to 27 knots: 2 pilot error on my behalf for not executing a missed approach when the wind gusts increased and I had difficulty holding the centerline:3.Poor decision by me to fly that day so as not to disappoint a new pilot/crew member who wanted to train on their tower communications in a Class C airspace. The Metar was 10 knots crosswind at the time of departure for the runway in use at ZZZ; however the TAF and MOS forecast showed increasing winds during the time of estimated arrival: 4. Over confidence in my ability to handle the crosswind because of experience in landing in high cross winds.
