Ahead of the contest, Australian Ethan Ewing experienced Teahupo'o's ferocity, fracturing two vertebrae during a warmup and putting the world No. 3 in doubt for the one-day Rip Curl WSL Finals in California next month to decide a world champion. The win gives Robinson the remaining spot at next month's Finals to go with his Olympic qualification secured earlier in the competition. Medina just missed out on both the Finals and the Brazil Olympic team. Simmers or Marks will qualify along with reigning world and Olympic champion Carissa Moore on Team USA depending on their final ranking after the Finals at Lower Trestles in San Clemente.
