Australian Tyler Wright has taken another step towards a maiden world surfing title by powering into the quarter-final of the Roxy Pro France.Wright proved far too good for compatriot Laura Enever and American Sage Erickson in the non-elimination third round on Saturday to move straight through to the quarter-finals.I was happy with how that heat went, I had a plan and just had to stick to it, its a rip bowl on my backhand which is kind of new territory for me, said Wright.American Courtney Conlogue is the only surfer who can deny Wright the 2016 crown.Conlogue stayed alive in the title contest by winning a low-scoring third-round clash against Australians Sally Fitzgibbons and Nikki van Dijk.Conditions were so tricky on that high tide, on my first wave I was hoping to finish that last turn and not making it kind of put me against the wall, Conlogue said.Im stoked to get into the quarters and hopefully I get a few more waves than that.Six-time WSL champion Stephanie Gilmore blasted through the final heat of the womens third round with an inspiring performance in the days most-exciting exchange against three-time world champ Carissa Moore and fellow Hawaiian Coco Ho.Kai Otton dealt another blow to fellow Australian Matt Wilkinsons faltering mens world title hopes by eliminating him in the third round fo the Quiksilver Pro France.I did not really care about Wilko at all in that heat to be honest, said Otton.I was just all about me. I need to make some heats if I want to stay on tour. I just want to win.I do not want to go out losing in the third round all year and that was a really crucial heat for me. I am rooting for Wilko to win the title, but I have to win my heats when they come.Fellow world title challengers John John Florence from Hawaii and Brazils Gabriel Medina are still in contention in Hossegor.

Chad Townsend shunned the outside world as he bounced back from his playoffs benching to play a lead role in Cronullas preliminary final win.And the Sharks halfback will do the same in the lead up to Sundays NRL grand final against Melbourne.Townsend was dragged by Sharks coach Shane Flanagan in the qualifying win over Canberra.For the two weeks in the lead-up to the preliminary final clash with North Queensland the Sharks junior tuned out of social media, turned off the TV, shunned the internet and ignored the newspapers.It enabled Townsend to take a clear head into the clash with the Cowboys and he will take the same approach to avoid the hype of grand final week.Ive cut out the social media, Ive cut out the news and everything like that for a couple of weeks now. Its cleared my head. Mentally and physically, Ive felt pretty good ever since, Townseend said.dddddddddddd.Ill continue to do that until the end of the season. Its an exciting time of the year but its also very easy to be distracted by the hype I guess.I can change that by focusing on what I do with the training and the time I put in.Townsend paid credit to halves partner James Maloney, who will play in his third decider in six years on Sunday, for helping him regain his confidence.Jimmy has a lot of big game experience and thats something Ive drawn off him, Townsend said.Hes played Origin and grand finals and to me - at the clutch moments - hes really been there for me.Im really trying to learn off him in those moments. 100 per cent he helps ease the pressure on me - thats been a key factor in my season.
