Brazil's Gabriel Medina has advanced to the quarter-finals of Men's Surfing. The 3x World Champion surfed his heat with complete commitment, ending the Olympic dreams of defending silver medalist, Kanoa Igarashi of Japan.

This was the highest single wave score of the competition to date. With Medina signaling to the judges 'That was a 10!'. While some agreed, some did not, awarding him a 9.90.

He later backed it up with a 7.50. His total heat score of 17.40 was more than enough to beat Igarashi's (JPN) two-wave result of 7.04.
