The US's Cash Berzolla is been the sensation of the season with a victory in Morocco earlier this month. He suffers a shock elimination in the quarter-final in Ibiraquera, but his earlier record secures the title even with the competition yet to finish.

"I feel amazing," says Berzolla. "I didn't do as well as I wanted in this event, but in the grand scheme of things I couldn't be happier and I'm stoked to take the win for the overall championship. It's a left, with port winds. It's a little bit different for me which is what I think got me hung up in the quarters."

Spain's Elena Moreno was guaranteed the crown in Brazil with two stunning event wins in the bag at the previous tour stops. The small women's fleet means that she already had enough points even as she takes to the water.

"I'm super-happy to win the world title here in Ibiraquera," said Moreno. "It's an amazing country. Really, I don't have many words yet. I have to calm down a bit. I dedicate this to my brother and my family. I'm just so happy."

The event in Ibiraquera is not over yet and the competition for the win is entering the exciting phase on Day 3.
