Gabriel Medina, who missed the first half of the year, ended the day much the way he ended last season: on fire, putting on a show and looking as though he’d never missed a heat. The conditions were pristine, to say the least, allowing the world’s best to do their thing. A lay day has been called for Sunday with WSL officials making the next call on Monday.
