Das erste „all Brasilian“ Halbfinale der Surf-Geschichte beim Oi Rio Pro 2022

Der Stop No. 8 auf der World Surf League (WSL) 2022 Championship Tour (CT), der Oi Rio Pro presented by Corona in Saquarema ist in vollem Gange.

Bei den Männern wurden gestern die Round of 16 und Quarterfinals gesurft. Und das natürlich mit einer unglaublichen Performance der Landsmänner. So wundert es wenig, dass es es zum großen Showdown nur brasilianische Beteiligung gibt.

Im Heat 1 wird Samuel Pupo (BRA) gegen den 2019 WSL Champion Italo Ferreira (BRA) antreten, während im Heat 2 Yago Dora (BRA) und Filipe Toledo (BRA) um den Sieg kämpfen. Filipe ist der erste Surfer, der sich bereits jetzt einen Spot in den 2022 Rip Curl WSL Finals in Lower Trestles gesichert hat.

“It’s crazy! After all the events and the results, the hard work, leaving my family behind, all the things I’ve had to sacrifice, I’m over the moon. This is what we want, this is our first goal, and getting the news here in Brazil is just incredible. It’s all just very emotional now. I rarely get the chance to be at an event with my wife and kids, so to have them here with me and clinch a spot in the Final 5 means a lot.” so Toledo.

Hier die Ergebnisse und anstehenden Heats.
