The fight for the World Title of Surfing  may have a decisive Round today when it is scheduled to call for the Round 3 of the stage of Peniche , in Portuaal, the penultimate of the season. If the waves are good (and there is forecast for), the leader Gabriel Medina, the deputy leader Filipe Toledo and the Australian Julian Wilson, the only "foreigner" that can take the title of the Brazilians will enter the water. The call is scheduled for 4am in the morning. In the case the event is ON, the ESPN 2 channel will broadcast from 6 am.

World champion in 2014, Gabriel Medina (51,770 points) is the first of the three contenders to compete. He will surf in the 6th heat against the Australian Ryan Callinan, runner-up of last stage, in France. Then enters Filipinho (51,450)  in the 7th heat, against the Frenchman Joan Duru, apparently a calmer rival. Finally, Julian Wilson (47,125) - who comes from a Title in France - closes the Round facing the Brazilian Yan Gouveia in the heat 12. It is worth remembering that Medina may be the Champion at this stage, but for this he will need to be the Champion and cheer for the elimination of Filipinho in Round 3 and Wilson  only reaches the Quarterfinals.

Mineirinho is injured 

Yesterday only were disputed the six heats of the final half of the Recap(the Round 2). And Adriano de Souza, the Mineirinho, had no good performance by an injury. The 2015 World Champion injured his knee early in his heat in the Round 2( the Recap)against Joan Duru and left the competition. Duru closed the heat already classified for facing Filipinho, without rival.
