- Powerhouse Brazil showed just what a threat it will be at surfing’s Olympic debut in Tokyo next year, claiming gold and bronze in the men’s division and silver in the women’s to win top overall team honors at a qualifying competition in Japan.
He beat Team USA captain Kolohe Andino, fellow Brazilian Gabriel Medina and local hero Shun Murakami in Sunday’s final. Ferreira almost missed the competition after having his passport and other belongings stolen in the United States. “I am so tired, that was a lot of heats with a lot of emotional moments. I just tried to show my best surfing.”
Provisional qualifiers for Tokyo 2020 from the 2019 ISA World Surfing Games are Japan’s Murakami, Ramzi Boukhiam from Morocco, New Zealand’s Billy Stairmand and Frederico Morais from Portugal.
