NÚCLEO POLIESPORTIVO
Favorite of the stage of France of the World Circuit of Surfing and vice-leader in the Ranking, Gabriel Medina has the knife and cheese on hand to take the leadership of the season. Yesterday, he eliminated compatriot Wiggoly Dantas in the Round 3 and, benefited by the elimination of the leader, the also Brazilian Filipe Toledo, advanced to the Round 4. As Filipinho will add 1,750 points and goes to 51,135, Medina - who entered the stage with 45,685 and has already guaranteed at least 4,000 - needs to reach the Semifinals to take the Top. It is worth remembering that after the French stage, only two more will remain: Portugal (Peniche, next week) and Hawaii (Pipe Masters of Oahu in December)
Filipinho
Filipe toledo was excellent in his heat, getting the best score of the event so far, a 9.0 wave and still added another 7.60. However, the Australian Ryan Callinan, who received Wild Card (invitation) to dispute the stage, added two great waves, 8.87 - second best score of the event - and another that received 7.93. Craved 16.80 and eliminated the Brazilian. To get an idea of the high level of this heat, Filipinho would have overcame any rival in the other heats and advanced of Round.
Medina
Gabriel Medina entered on the Sea in the heat right after Filipinho and did not need a great performance to defeat Wiggoly Dantas with a wave of 6.33 and another of 5.0, scoring 11.33. Wiggoly tried nine waves, but none over to five and the best two were 4.0 and 4.37, closing with only 8.37.
Other Brazilians
Only Adriano de Souza advanced, eliminating the Australian Adrian Buchan. Ítalo Ferreira, Yago Dora, Ian Gouveia and Willian Cardoso were eliminated. As it got dark, the heat between the "Brazuca" Michael Rodrigues and the Hawaiian Ezequiel Lau stayed for the first call today (at 3 in the morning)
