Today we had the end of the Portugal's stage in WSL. ítalo Ferreira :BRA and Caroline Marks :USA 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 :AUS

Stephanie Gilmore :AUS

Johanne Defay :FRA

Tatiana Weston-Webb :BRA

 

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 :CRC, Silvana :BRA and Paige :NZL 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 :USA

Jordy Smith :RSA

Jeremy Flores :FRA

Kanoa Igarashi :JPN

 

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

 

Michel Bourez :FRA (the favourite) and Joan Duru :FRA 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.

 

:FRA 

 

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.

 

:USA

 

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.
 
:BRA
 
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.

:AUS
 
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.
