WSL Finals numbers and Filipe Toledo and Caroline Marks' victory

A well-schematized way of seeing the history that was written yesterday in Lowers


-1 Brazilian surfer to win consecutive titles in history: Filipe Toledo; all three of Medina's were skipped.

-5 Brazilian titles: The last five men's world championships (2018 to 2023) were won by surfers from that country: Two from Toledo, two from Medina and one from Italo.

-7 Brazilian titles: In the last 10 circuits held, seven titles were won by Brazil: Three by Medina, two by Filipe, one by Italo, one by Adriano, two by John John and one by Fanning.

-3 finals contested and 3 finals won by Brazilians at the male level (two by Filipe and one by Medina).

-It took 18 years for a goofy footer to win a world title: Caroline Marks. The last one was Chelsea Georgeson in 2005.

-It took 17 years for a surfer who is neither Tyler Wright, nor Steph Gimore nor Carissa Moore to win a world title. The last time that one of the three won the title was Layne Beachley in 2006.

-Carissa Moore would have 7 world titles if the WSL finals hadn't been invented (or if she hadn't lost them).

-30: The number of days it took Ethan Ewing to recover from fracturing two of his vertebrae and become vice-world champion.

-$200.000: What Caroline and Filipe earned for being crowned world champions.
