great and first World Champion of Surfing in the time of this heat.So the Australian passed to the Semifinals;
4.At last heat of the Quarterfinals, the "highlight" E. Lau(HAW)overcame the Brazilian Y. Dora(BRA), and was guaranteed in the Semifinals.

The flight of Filipinho
Brazilian gives show in Saquarema, wins the stage of World Circuit and jumps to the second position in the Ranking
Renato de Alexandrino
renato.alexandrino@oglobo.com.br
"Fly as a butterfly, sting as a bee". The phrase was coined by the boxer Muhammad ali in 1964 would fall as a glove for what Filipinho presented in Saquarema. Taking off with lightness and synchrony to hit his aerials, and attacking with strength the wall of the wave when necessary, the surfer of São Paulo(SP)23 years old won yesterday the Brazilian stage of World Circuit of Surfing. And with leftovers. After taking a fright in the Round 3, when almost lost to the Hawaiian Keanu Asing, Filipinho hit the fifth gear and did not look back anymore. In the rights tubular waves of Barrinha, alternative structure and that had better conditions to host the championship, was overcoming victims along the way.
He overcame the American Kolohe Andino in the Quarterfinals; did not give chance to the leader of Ranking, the Australian Julian Wilson, in the Semifinals; and defeated also the Australian Wade Carmichael in the Final with right to a long and perfect tube that scored 9.93. Received on the beach by a crowd in apotheosis and carried on his shoulders as he came out from the water, the surfer did not hold the tears when talked about the win, dedicated to his son Koa, who was born two days before the start of the event.
-This is Brazil. This all energy is exciting, exclaimed, crying: It is very good to be at home.
It was the second win of Filipinho in Brazil - the other was in 2015, when the championship was held in Postinho, in Rio de Janeiro - and the sixth in stages of CT. The surfer of São Paulo(SP)never lost a final in the World Circuit.
-It is the last chance that you have, it is time of great show. This is what I put in my mind, that I have to go there and do my best - said him, that flew from ninth position to the second position in the Ranking.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is Champion!
Filipe Toledo took a shower of beer of Wade Carmichael
Circuit follows to the Indonesia
Other three Brazilians arrived to the final day of disputes in CT of Saquarema, each one in a heat of the Quarterfinals, what let the crowd cheering for the Semifinals formed by Brazilians. But they did not match with the opponents.
Michael Rodrigues surfed well against Julian Wilson, however lost for little on a mistake that should have taken his sleep at night when let the Australian turn the heat when he had the priority. Gabriel Medina had a weak performance against Wade Carmichael, scoring only 3.63. Yago Dora did not surf well either, eliminated by the Hawaiian Ezekiel Lau.
In the second position of Ranking, Filipinho is just over a thousand points behind the leader JulianWilson. Italo Ferreira fell to the third, and Medina is the fourth position.
The World Circuit travels now to Indonesia, with a dispute of a stage and an half in sequence. First will be disputed, in the beginning of June, the Bali Pro, in the waves of Keramas.
Right after the WSL, will complete the CT of Margaret River, that was cancelled on last month by the shark activity in the championship area, in Western Australia.

High waves in Saquarema
Saquarema is really blessed. The Brazilian stage of World Circuit started in epic way in Maracanã of Brazilian surf, in the last Friday. And historic, since for the first time one CT happened in the peak of Barrinha. Were days of high waves. The powerful right ran at full steam and put to the test the best surfers of the world. After two days in a row in Barrinha, the championship returned to the main structure, for the lefts of Itaúna point, that broke with high waves and provided a real show of surfing. And was in the scenario that the Women's championship was finalized, on Wednesday.
From the Round 3 till the Finals, the girls dueled in great conditions. Silvana Lima surfed very well, and scored the best grade and best sum of all the event. The now Brazilian Tatiana Weston-Webb, that eliminated Silvana in the Quarterfinals, finished the competition in 3rd. Who took the best was the six-time World Champion Stephanie Gilmore, that now opened up even more the advantage in leadership of Women's Ranking. In the Final, the Australian defeated the American Lakey Peterson, current second position.
The Men's dispute should restart with the Quarterfinals and finished still today, probably in the rights of Barrinha. We may have for the first time in the history four Brazilians in the Semifinals of an event of CT. This because we have a "brazuca" in the dispute of each one of the four heats of Quarterfinals. Filipe Toledo, Gabriel Medina, Michael Rodrigues and Yago Dora are our representatives, and the crowd will be great. Besides the show of surfing, of high waves, the weather in is incredible. A positive energy that is felt immediately by those who pass the main street of Itaúna. The town breathes surf 24 hours by day and has been amazing to witness all this. I hope Brazil wins. Aloha and good waves!
