The preparation to the Final stage

The last stage of CT - that will decide the World Champion if Gabriel Medina does not win in Portugal  - will be performed from 8th to 20th of December in Pipeline, in the island of Oahu, in Hawaii. It is one of the waves more fearly of the World, with many variations: may break a small tube right or even a big left. If the Wind would be offshore is perfect, because is easier so much for surfing and catch the tubes that Pipe offers. But if would be strong from the North, entering of side and with everything shaking, mainly in the Sea would be big - the waves become in fact, ferocious, huge, monstrous. I already had the opportunity of watching a Final of Pipeline so.
It is so difficult to surf, to know how to choose the right wave. There are very few surfers that know how to manage with this situation, only the more tough and experienced.

There will be a moment of much pressure and adrenaline to them that have chance of title. It is importante that competitors are very well prepared both physically and psychologically. There will be about six weeks of break between Portugal and Hawaii, a good time for this. It is importante to arrive earlier in Pipeline, to ride waves, try surfboards for all the possibilities of surfing, as the Sea of there may break from three  to 15 feet with rights and lefts. Without say that some may break in Surf sessions. Other importante aspect is the athlete should be respected by local surfers, have a good relationship with the Hawaiians because only on this way they may train in tranquility. This is a privilege of few because the competition is incredible. Some surfers stay hours to ride a perfect wave in Pipe on a crowded day.

The surf is so professional nowadays that all athletes have their personal trainers and coaches, that do evalutions, film and coment their performance on the water, giving tips about which surfboard worked better, constructive comments to get better the results. Many athletes do yoga for relaxing, have more concentration, and flexibility. The food is also very important: a nutritionist  may advise what is ideal to ingest in the train and on the day of competition.


Good luck to competitors! That Brazil keeps shining and brings one more World Title!
Aloha and good waves!

While this, the Spanish press does not stop to speculate about the possible back of  Neymar to Barcelona. According to the radio "Cadena Ser", he did an agrément with the PSG; as in France the contracts does not have termination fine will be establish values to release him of unilateral form,
decreasing over the years. To leave in June of 2019, the player should refund to the club PSG 220 million of Euros (R$ 943,4 million)

With the cheer of Neymar, Gabriel Medina won his heat yesterday, against the Tahitian Michel Bourez and the Portuguese Frederico Morais and guaranteed himself in th Quarterfinal of the stage of Peniche, with chance of conquering the title of the season already in Peniche.

Disputed in Peniche, the heats of  the Rounds 3 and 4 were held in the morning and the Brazilian surfer advanced to the Quarterfinals of the competititon. Second place in the Ranking of the season, Filipe Toledo was eliminated in the Round 3. By the way, the Australian Julian Wilson, who is the dispute by the title, will surf the last heat of the Round 4 only today.

 With Filipe Toledo already eliminated Medina may become champion of the World Circuit in the stage of Portugal.For  this he needs to win the stage and Wilson can not reach the Semifinal. If the Brazilian is vicechampion or defeated before then, the dispute will be decided in the ultimate stage, in the Pipeline Masters, in Hawaai, no matters the performance of Wilson.

Medina finished with 13.60 against 7.33 of Callinan and advanced to the Round 4.


Still dreaming about the title of the season. Filipe Toledo did not have a happy day at Peniche. Filipinho faced theFrenchman Joan  Duru and ended up eliminated with a close score of 12.10 against 12.50 of the opponent.

 Gabriel Medina and Filipinho in action in the Round 3

*** Medina, leader of the Ranking and that may be the Champion in Portugal,
       faces the deputy-Champion of stage of  France. Toledo, deputy-leader;
       and more six brazucas still alive. Mineirinho is injured.

Drama Minerinho was injured from the Recap. After going through the same Round , Toledo follows in the fight to reconquer the leadership of the WCT - AFP


NÚCLEO POLIESPORTIVO
reporterpoli@lancenet.com.br

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.
