Bruna Kajiya e Erick Anderson avançaram às semifinais nesta quinta-feira (22), em Itarema, cidade do litoral oeste do Ceará. A atual campeã mundial segue firme na briga pelo título; entre os homens, o brasileiro já sabe parte do que vem pela frente.
Kajiya, líder do ranking feminino, não precisou de repescagem. A brasileira somou 23,77 pontos, garantiu a vaga com antecedência e chega à etapa cearense depois de vencer as duas primeiras provas da temporada, no México e na Alemanha. Ela ainda busca o título mundial de Freestyle.
Já no masculino, a vaga veio pela repescagem. Anderson marcou 22,37 pontos na bateria e passou entre os quatro melhores; pela frente vêm o italiano Matteo Dorotini e o mexicano Anthar Racca, além de um quarto nome ainda indefinido.
Quem quase entrou foi Carlos Mário Bebê. Dono de cinco títulos mundiais e de volta ao circuito após mais de dois anos longe das competições, o cearense marcou 18,67 pontos e terminou a bateria em terceiro lugar, a 0,27 do mexicano Anthar Racca, que passou com 18,94. Einar Saad, também do México, foi o melhor do confronto, com 20,53 pontos.
A delegação brasileira pode aumentar o número de semifinalistas. João Lucas e Pedro Alexandre tentam nesta sexta-feira (23) as vagas restantes no masculino.
A competição na Ilha do Guajiru soma 38 atletas de 12 países. As finais estão previstas para sábado (24), dia em que saem os campeões da temporada. O vento, porém, manda no roteiro: mudanças nas condições podem obrigar a organização a remanejar as baterias.
