Australias surfing world championship leader Matt Wilkinson has come off second best against dangerous qualifier Bruno Santos on the opening day at Teahupoo in Tahiti.Brazilian Santos, who won the 2008 Teahupoo title as qualifier, proved too strong for Wilkinson and Stuart Kennedy in their heat, advancing direct to round three and relegating the Australian pair to sudden-death second round competition.I love Tahiti, not just Teahupoo, said Santos.It is my favourite wave for sure, but I love this place, the people and my family here. I feel confident in Tahiti because all my best results have been here.When you come from the trials, it is like a warmup and you feel better and stronger.Kai Otton, Adrian Buchan and Adam Melling were the only Australians to win first round heats.They were joined, among others, by 11-times world champion Kelly Slater, Hawaiis John John Florence, Brazils Gabriel Medina and defending champion Jeremy Flores (France).Melling closed out the round with the days second highest heat score of 17.67 which included the highest single-wave score of the day, a near-perfect 9.67.Second in the championship standings, Florence stole the show with a blistering display of tube riding, earning a near perfect 18.40 points for two rides.That score gives me a lot of confidence, Florence said.I do not feel any pressure at all. To go surf these open, perfect barrels with only three guys out is insane. If anything, I am more excited than pressured.Third in the standings, Medina dominated his heat against rookies Conner Coffin (USA) and Alex Ribeiro (BRA).Flores was too good for Julian Wilson (AUS) and Nat Young (USA).Otton defeated reigning world champion Adriano de Souza and another Brazilian, Miguel Pupo.Dallas Goedert Womens Jersey . -- Team after team passed on Andre Ellington in the draft. Brian Westbrook Jersey . The FA rejected Wilsheres appeal that the length of his punishment was "clearly excessive" and said Thursday his suspension begins with immediate effect. He will miss league matches against Chelsea on Monday and West Ham on Dec. http://www.eaglesrookiestore.com/Eagles-Shareef-Miller-Jersey/ . Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006. Wilbert Montgomery Womens Jersey . Detroit and Boston are deadlocked, 1-1, and Tigers manager Jim Leyland could be forgiven if he was caught rationalizing instead of dissecting how his club could blow a 5-1 lead late in Game 2. Nick Foles Youth Jersey . Meanwhile, there were huge victories for Sunderland and West Ham over fellow relegation rivals, leaving the battle to avoid the drop up for grabs with the bottom 11 teams separated by just six points.
