In a complicated year, with below-average results, Silvana Lima was reborn. In the perfect waves of Trestles ,in California, the Brazilian defeated yesterday the six-times  World Champion Stephanie Gilmore to advance to the Semifinals of the seventh stage of the Women's World Circuit of Surfing. The event should finish today.

This is the best result of Silvan in the season. In the six previous stages, she was defeated in the Recap in four stages, and in the other two stages, finished only in ninth position. In 15th place in the Ranking, however, it is practically guaranteed in the CT of 2018 for leading the QS, the access division.

Inspired

When passing the Quarterfinals, the surfer achieved his best result in the season

"Now arrived the moment that I have been waiting so much, even more in this wonderful place," said a relieved Silvana after going through the Quarterfinals in impeccable presentation.

The Australian was a "card customer" of the Brazilian at this stage. Before the decisive duel in the Quarterfinals, Silvana had already overcame Gilmore in the Round 1 and Round 3, which are not eliminatories.

"I'm very happy," celebrated the Brazilian. "To defeat  Stephanie three times at the same event is unusual.

I am very fan of this girl.

In the Semifinals, Silvana will face Lakey Peterson, from the USA. The other Semifinal will be between the also American Courtney Conlogue and the Australian Keely Andrew.

Filipinho is the only one that still alive in Men's competition

In the Men's event, Filipe Toledo(BRA) is the unique Brazilian still alive in the CT of Trestles.After a long day of competitions, the first two heats of the Quarterfinals were held last night(in Brasilia time), and Adriano de Souza(BRA)was eliminated. Mineirinho was defeated by the Australian Adrian Buchan(AUS) in a very tough dispute and with doubtful result.

Between the two remaining heats, it is the heat of Filipinho, a hot duel against the American Kanoa Igarashi(USA), whom the surfer from São Paulo lost in two controversial disputes. In Saquarema, the two

crashed themself and an interference was noted against Filipinho, who left the water revolted at the final of the heat. In Huntington beach, during the US Open, the movie was repeated.:the two surfers crashed in the beginning of the dispute and Filipinho was punished again with an interference.
