A polemic Sunday in Portugal stage of the World Circuit of surfing. The current leader of the Ranking, Gabriel Medina was defeated in the Round of 16 by Caio Ibelli. The two-time World Champion led so ahead until almost the final of the heat when was punished by interference and lost one of the scores, keeping only one wave of 8.17. Ibelli took advantage, already had 5.40, changed 1.77 by a 3.10 in the last wave. Added 8.50 and got the position in the Quarterfinals. Medina stopped in the Round of 16 in Peniche.
On social networks, the Brazilian vented and even asked for the heat to be reviewed:
- I would like to explain what happened on my heat. Caio and I surfed the same wave and each one went for a side. My wave was shorter and his was longer. So that while I was back outside, he was still riding his wave. When I got to the line up, I was so sure the priority was mine that I did not look at the priority sign. To my surprise, when the next wave came, I went to surf it because I was sure the priority was mine. I took the interference.
And he completed:
When I got out of the water I went to talk to the judges. We looked at the open images of the two of us padling back to the line up with an open camera angle. It was very clear that I arrived well before. And even if I had gotten along with him and had a draw, the priority would be mine by the rule. Because in the wave we surfed together before, Caio had priority 1. I hope my heat will be reviewed because an error has occurred.
