The fourteen top seeded pro's went head to head with the eleven up and comers from the Global Open today and there were some big surprises for tomorrow's final.
Newcomers, Karen Feitosa and Virgina Fortes Aguas took two of the 8 spots for Sundays final. Big names like Jenn Soto & Samarria Brevard were knocked out of the running, along with some of the other pro women we have seen competing in Street League for a while now.
Letcia Bufoni is holding tight to the number one spot after today's semi-finals, with Mariah Duran and Lacey Baker trying to match her high score. Alexis Sablone, Aori Nishimura and Pamela Rosa round out the group to have eight women in the finals on Sunday.
It's nice to see these contests open up to new talent - it means that the level of skating for women is being pushed higher and higher and we are seeing girls from all over the world kicking ass at these big contests - this is going to be a BIG year for growth in women's skateboarding!
Tune in to watch the WOMEN'S FINAL at 9 AM PT / 12 Noon ET on StreetLeague.com
