"\"&lt;h2&gt;Colgate Plax Girls Rio Pro: Day 1 Highlights&lt;\\/h2&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Quarterfinalists Decided in Explosive Fashion at Colgate Plax Girls Rio Pro&lt;\\/em&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Event No. 5 of 7 on 2013 ASP Women&amp;#8217;s World Championship Tour (WCT)&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nBarra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nMay 8 &amp;#8211; 19, 2013&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;BARRA DA TIJUCA, Rio de Janeiro\\/Brazil (Friday, May 10, 2013) -The Colgate Plax Girls Rio Pro completed a massive opening day of competition, running through four rounds of competition to decide the Quarterfinalists in peaky two-to-four foot waves at Barra Da Tijuca. Stop No. 5 of 7 on the ASP Women\\u2019s World Championship Tour (WCT), the Colgate Plax Girls Rio Pro saw dominant performances from the event\\u2019s top seeds, tightening up an already exciting ASP World Title Race as the world\\u2019s best surfers move through the back half of the season.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Carissa Moore (HAW), 20, 2011 ASP Women\\u2019s World Champion, displayed an amazing variety of power and progression to open her Colgate Plax Girls Rio Pro campaign. Moore dominated both her Round 1 and Round 3 affairs today, securing her Quarterfinals berth. \\u201cIt feels good to move onto Quarterfinals,\\u201d Moore said. \\u201cWith a beachbreak situation it can be tricky and random so it\\u2019s a relief to skip that Round 4.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Moore, current frontrunner for the 2013 ASP Women\\u2019s World Title Race, is out to further the gap over the field in Rio in hopes of securing a second crown, but knows this year\\u2019s race is far from over. \\u201cI\\u2019m not thinking about the world title when I\\u2019m in the water, but I\\u2019ve definitely thought about it and I\\u2019m excited to be in the race,\\u201d Moore said. \\u201cMy whole family is behind me, but I\\u2019ve got a long road ahead of me and still have a lot of work to do.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Tyler Wright (AUS), 19, was another ASP World Title contender to standout in the shifty Barra Da Tijuca beachbreak today. Wright was responsible for the day\\u2019s highest scores including a 9.27 for a barrel-to-turn combo as well as a 17.04 heat total and eventually found her way to the Quarterfinals, topping Coco Ho (HAW), 22, in Round 4.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cI felt in my last heat that I didn\\u2019t get started at all and I hate losing like that,\\u201d Wright said. \\u201cI wanted to make sure I caught a lot of waves in that heat. I knew Coco (Ho) had a 6 and a 7 so I knew I was going to have to catch a lot of waves. I was frustrated with my last heat and I really wanted to push my turns.\\u201d Wright, current No. 2 on the ASP Women\\u2019s WCT, is well within the hunt for a maiden ASP Women\\u2019s World Title, but the Australian remains casual in her approach for the frontrunner position.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cI\\u2019m not paying attention to the World Title at all,\\u201d Wright said. \\u201cAll I want to do is surf. I\\u2019m having fun, surfing is what I love doing and I have a good board. I\\u2019ve just surpassed my best result in Rio and there\\u2019s no sense in thinking about the numbers for the World Title because in the end it just makes you come undone.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Lakey Peterson (USA), 18, current No. 6 on the ASP WCT, was lethal on the opening day of competition, taking commanding Round 1 and Round 3 wins with some of the day\\u2019s top scores. Peterson wasted little time in her Round 3 bout, notching an 8.97 and 7.17 within the first 10 minutes to leave Sally Fitzgibbons (AUS), 22, and wildcard Alessa Quizon (HAW), 19, chasing massive scores for the remainder of the heat. \\u201cIt\\u2019s always nice when you get two great waves sent to you,\\u201d Peterson said. \\u201cIt was looking really small for Round 2 and it\\u2019s picked up again for Round 3. I\\u2019m just having fun and although I had the early lead there was 20 minutes for the other girls to get back in to it, so I was watching them too. It was a good heat for me and it\\u2019s always nice to skip Round 4.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Malia Manuel (HAW), 19, was in deadly form throughout the day despite being relegate to Round 2 in a heated exchange with Tyler Wright (AUS), 19, in Round 1. The talented Hawaiian built momentum throughout the rounds, eventually advancing to the Quarterfinals with a convincing Round 3 heat win in a rematch against Wright. \\u201cI saw these rights that keep peeling down the beach, but my highest score was on a left,\\u201d Manuel said. These beachbreak conditions change so much with the tide and different swells so you just have to trust your instincts and move around if it\\u2019s not working for you.Tyler and I had a good battle this morning and that round was good payback for me.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Courtney Conlogue (USA), 20, took an impressive buzzer-beating heat win in Round 3 to earn her Quarterfinals berth. In need of a solid score in the dying seconds, Conlogue unleashed a series of committed backhand turns on a racing lefthander, earning a 7.33 ride and the heat win over Pauline Ado (FRA), 22, and Coco Ho (HAW), 22. \\u201cThat last heat was a battle,\\u201d Conlogue said. \\u201cIt was more a battle against myself in that heat though. I was feeling off in that heat with the conditions, there was chop and I was catching my edge everywhere. With 15 seconds left I thought I\\u2019ll just give it a shot and milk it to the beach. It ended up being a good wave and I\\u2019m happy to get through.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;When competition resumes, up first will be Lakey Peterson (USA), 18, up against Sally Fitzgibbons (AUS), 22, in Quarterfinal 1. Event organizers will reconvene tomorrow morning at 6:15am for a possible 6:30am start.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Highlights from the Colgate Plax Girls Rio Pro will be available via &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/wctbrasil.com\\/rio13\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"&gt;http:\\/\\/wctbrasil.com\\/rio13&lt;\\/a&gt;.
