(Reuters) - Brazil's three-times world champion Gabriel Medina won his first World Surf League event since 2021 after taking out Californian Griffin Colapinto with a display of radical, sure-footed surfing at the Western Australia Margaret River Pro on Friday.

Carissa Moore, Hawaii's five-times world champion and Olympic gold medallist, held her nerve in deteriorating conditions to claim the win over Australian Tyler Wright.
