Three-time world champion Gabriel Medina lost his quarter-final heat at the Fiji Pro and is therefore out of contention for the finals at Lower Trestles from 6-14 September.

The way things were going, Medina needed to win the championship and Griffin Colapinto had other plans in the quarterfinals. In a very inconsistent sea, the Californian made several off the lips to get an 8,33 that extinguished the Brazilian's dreams. Final result: 13,83 to 10,16.

Now, at the men's level, there are three people with a chance of two spots: Italo Ferreira, who was eliminated from the event in the round of 5 by Barron Mamiya, Ethan Ewing and Yago Dora. These last two, if they advance, will surpass Italo and get into the top XNUMX.

Dora goes against Robinson, which has already been guaranteed, and Ewing goes against Mamiya, precisely, the executioner of Italo Ferreira

Among the ladies, Molly Picklum was guaranteed and now there is only one place left, which will go to Tatiana Weston Webb or Johanne Defay.

With the Frenchwoman eliminated, if the Brazilian advances her semi-final series against Tyler Wright and reaches the final, she is guaranteed; if she loses, Defay's place goes to her.

The chances are high that the final day of the event will take place on Saturday in Fiji, with three heats of men's quarterfinals, semis and finals remaining.
