The former World Champ looked uncharacteristically nervous in his Round Three heat against the legendary Frenchman. Flores took full advantage of the rhythm he said he's been feeling all event, posting two solid scores early in the heat to put the pressure on the Brazilian. Medina struggled to respond. After falling on a few waves he was left scrambling for a big score in the dying minutes. His final effort fell short, giving Florence the opportunity to take the Title in Portugal.
