Gabriel Medina can participate in the final part of the WSL in 2025 to prepare for the next season.
The world champion three times Gabriel Medina is sailed for the first time after four months. Far from WSL due to a shoulder injury, the Brazilian star returned to the water and participated in a relaxed session with Pedro Scooby. The meeting took place this Thursday (8) in the pool of waves of which Medina is a partner, in Beyond the Club, next to Pinheiros Marginal, in San Paolo.
Gabriel can still return to competitive surf this season. The recovery of the accident was treated caution by the surfers and his medical team. Medina wounded the tent of the largest shoulder pectoral muscle in Maresia while preparing for the WSL 2025 season. Paulista suffered an autumn January while trying a maneuver and ended up losing the early stages of the world surfing circuit.
– The swimming pool is an environment in which I felt again at ease to navigate. Return of injury, you have to take it easy, it is difficult to resist, because every wave, I wondered how it would be to give air, but it is not yet time. Here (in the pool), you pay less and you have a wave of everything it is. It was very good, I never imagined navigating again in the middle of St. Paul. I am very happy – commented Gabriel Medina.
Wsl’s expectation was that the surf star will return by the end of the year. With this in mind, the League has adopted a caution strategy and included Medina in the ranking of points, even without the Brazilian participating in any phase of 2025. On the other hand, Gabriel already has a guaranteed place in the 2026 elite and can calmly prepare for the dispute of the phases and the world title.
However, there is still the possibility of Medina to participate in WSL in 2025 At least this is the idea of the Brazilian, who tries to reconstruct the ideal conditioning for the practice of high -level surfing. Until then, Medina will work the transition from physical training to gradually navigating, without the risk of aggravating the injury.
Gabriel Medina works focused on being completely recovered and confident until April 2026, when a new season of the tour of the WSL championship begins. With this, the world champion three -Tempo has enough time to prepare with excellence and try to win the fourth career title.
