"Filipinho advances, prevents title of Medina in Peniche and postpones the decision of the World Championship of Surfing to Hawaii."

Filipe Toledo qualifying to the Quarterfinals of the stage in Portugal takes the chances of Gabriel Medina to clinch the World Championship for the three-time.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Portuguese fans will no longer be able to celebrate the title of the 2019 World Circuit on the sands of Peniche. Filipe Toledo defeated the Australian Wade Carmichael (14.60 x 9.27) and advanced to the Quarterfinals on Sunday morning.
Than, Gabriel Medina has no more chances to clinch the third World Championship antecipated, and the decision will take place in Pipeline, Hawaii.

The small sea did not help the performance of the surfers on this Sunday. Second position in the WSL ranking, behind Medina only, Filipinho had difficulties in the beginning of the heat, unable to complete the waves. If the Brazilian suffered, Carmichael had even more problems. In the first 10 minutes of the heat, very low scores. But Filipinho got a 7.17 using all the features and riding the wave from the beginning to the end. Took the lead and did not lose it anymore. The Australian still scored a 5.17, but the Brazilian responded with a 6 and then with a 7.43 to close at 14.60 against 9.27.

Gabriel Medina entered the water in the fifth heat of the Round of 16. The opponent was Caio Ibelli. The two-time World Champion dominated with great advantage, until almost the final of the heat was punished by an interference and lost one of the scores, keeping only one wave, an 8.17. Ibelli took advantage, already had 5.40, changed the 1.77 that had a 3.10 in the last wave. He added 8.50 and got the place on Wednesday. Medina stops on the Round of 16 in Peniche.

Ranked third in the WSL Ranking and also in the fight for the title, Italo Ferreira has also shown that he will not leave the way free for the three-time Championship of Medina. He defeated the American Conner Coffin (13.83 x 10.83) and took a position in the Quarterfinals. Now Italo faces Peterson Crisanto, who left another Brazilian along the way, Jesse Mendes (14.34 x 12.46).


Olympic race

The top two surfers from each country, who finish in the top 10, guarantee a place for the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. For Brazil, Medina, Filipinho and Ítalo Ferreira make the internal dispute. One of the three will be out.
Among Women, Tatiana Weston-Webb was the first to secure Brazil's Olympic position. Gaucha-born in RS- raised in Hawaii, she advanced to the Quarterfinals in Peniche and confirmed presence in Tokyo. Silvana Lima runs after the second position of the country.
