No way for Filipe Toledo. Second position in the Ranking of the season and appointed as main
adversary of the Australian Mick Fanning, the Brazilian left the dispute for the title yesterday.

20 was eliminated soon in Round 3.
Toledo entered in the sea to dispute with Hawaiian Mason Ho under pressure. Because, two heats before,Fanning has already guaranteed the place at sequence of competition over Jamie O'Brien(HAW).
The conditions of waves also were no good. The surfer of Brazil passed almost all the Round 3 behing. But a little more of 10 minutes left, turned the heat. The problem is that at final minutes, Ho turned the heat again and even with at the last tentative, Filipinho did not turn the heat.
-Sincerely, I was so happy and having so much fun along the year. nfortunately, the title did not come
this time but I will back still stronger in next year and for sure I will be at dispute again -
affirmed the Brazilian right after leaving the Sea.
With three victories in 10 stages disputed till the moment, Toledo was being one of the main highlights.
And with more a discard after the end of dispute in Pipeline, he was the main adversary of Fanning.
Besides the athlete of Brazil, who also saw the chance of taking the Title ended was the Australian Julian Wilson - that needed to win in Hawaii and to cheer against the rivals. The major problem is that he, as Filipinho, lost in the Round 3.
But if both surfers do not have more chances to take the Cup of the season, Gabriel Medina still alive in the fight for World Bichampionship. The current champion did not give chances to the South African Jordy Smith and advanced to the Quarterfinals with smooth to win by 15.84 to 4.50.
The problem is that also Fanning was advanced, Medina has to win the competition in Hawaii besides cheer for the Australian and Adriano de Souza do not pass over the Quarterfinals.
Mineirinho, so, is now the main athlete of country with chances of being champion. He passed to Quarterfinals in Pipeline at defeating the Irish Glenn Hall at last heat.
