Australian Olympians Tyler Wright and Ethan Ewing have reached finals at the latest World Surf League round in Portugal, only for their long days to suffer an anti-climactic end at Supertubos.
Two-time world champion Wright was well beaten - 10.83 points to 5.50 - in the women's final against French rival Johanne Defay on Saturday (Sunday AEDT).
Then Ewing, who'd earlier performed superbly to get through his quarter-final and semi-final in Saturday's competition, found himself outclassed in the late afternoon men's showdown with inspired American Grfffin Colapinto, who prevailed 17.94 to 11.13.
