The CT series in Portugal, which will take place between March 6 and 16 at Supertubos, was released by the WSL and still does not show Joao Chumbinho Chianca, who suffered an injury surfing at Pipe a few months ago.

Given this and the fact that each event has the right to wildcards, we see the names of Marco Mignot from France, Joaquim Chaves from Portugal and Francisca Veselko, also from Portugal, climbing up the series.

Costa Rican Brisa Hennessy, the only Hispanic member of the CT, will face Tyler Wright and Sally Fitzgibbons in series 6 of round 1.

The absence of current world number 4 Chumbinho Chianca raises doubts about whether he will be ready in time for the Olympic Games, which will also take place in an aggressive wave for someone who suffered a heavy blow with his own at Pipe.

In the event that Chianca does not go, Medina would qualify for the CT 2023 ranking and if Brazil wins the men's team event in Puerto Rico, Yago Dora will keep the slot without having to fight for the place with Medina.
