Today we had the end of the Portugal's stage in WSL. ítalo Ferreira  and Caroline Marks  won their competitions. Because of that the race for the last quotas and the title go to Hawaii.

 

Up this moment, we have 4 quotas defined at women's competition.

 

Sally Fitzgibbons 

Stephanie Gilmore 

Johanne Defay 

Tatiana Weston-Webb 

 

The last quotas will be given to two American surfers between Caroline Marks, Lakey Peterson and Carissa Moore. Carissa is the favorite to win the crown, the other two women, probably, will fight for the last American quota.

 

Brisa , Silvana  and Paige  are disputing the last two tickets to Tokyo. Paige is the most likely to lose her flight.

 

The men's competition we have other 4 surfers already qualified

 

Kolohe Andino 

Jordy Smith 

Jeremy Flores 

Kanoa Igarashi 

 

There are 6 more quotas available. The dispute for the last American quota promise to be super interesting. Kelly Slater  Seth Moniz  and a possibility that we watch John John Florence  coming back in Pipeline.

 

Michel Bourez  (the favourite) and Joan Duru  wil decide the last French quota.

 

As for Brazil, ítalo Ferreira (the new leader) Gabriel Medina and Filipe Toledo are very close from each other in the leaderboard.

 

Finally, the two Australian quotas are between six surfers. Owen Wright is the first on the line and he has a few more points than the second in it (Julian Wilson). Adrian Buchan, Ryan Callinan, Wade Carmichael and Jack Freestone are still on the race.

 

 

The last stage for women will take place in Maui at the end of November. The men's competition wil be in Pipeline at the beggining of December.

Summing up the chances of each surfer in Pipeline.

 

 

 

Michel Bourez and Joan Duru are going to decide the last french quota. Duru needs to win the competition. There is no other way for him.

If Bourez finishes on 9th or better, Duru is automatically out.

 

 

Up this moment, John John Florence has the last American quota in his hands. If he finishes the event in 3rd or better, he'll get this officialy.

 

Kelly Slater can grab this quota:

 

if he wins the competition, and Florence finishes 5th or worse

if he finishes on 2nd place, and Florence finishes 9th or worse

if he finishes on 3rd place, and Florence finishes 17th or worse

if he finishes 5th place, and Florence finishes on 33rd

 

Seth Moniz also has a small chance to get it. He needs at least the third place and bad results from Kelly and Florence to have a chance to qualify.

 

 

the fight fot the title will be, likely, between the Brazilians, and the Olympic quotas as well. The pontuation difference is
very small, because of that only one heat can make a huge change in their positions. So, Basically:

 

Ítalo has to finish the event on the same position, or better, than Medina or Toledo to qualify.

Medina needs to finish the competition on the same position, or better, than Toledo

Toledo needs to finish the competition in a better position than Ítalo and/or Medina(his first contender to the Olympic quota)

 

There are other possibilities, but we need to wait the waves, to check it up.

 

The most complex competition for Olympic quotas. Six surfers for two spots. Owen Wright has a good pontuation, with 5.000 points ahead of Julian Wilson, the second Australian surfer in the ranking. He's in a comfortable position for his quota. As for the other five surfers, the situation is similar to the Brazilians, one heat can change everything.

Filipe Toledo failed in his heat at Round of 32. Gabriel Medina and ítalo Ferreira will represent Brazil in Tokyo.

Kelly Slater smashed the hopes of Joan Duru at Round of 32. Because of that, Michel Bourez gets the last french quota
