I was trying to figure out how the heats are going to look like in Teahupoo, with my friend @Pasolini. ISA has announced the seed chosen, but they aren't so clear about how this is going to work, especially about the competition format. So, I did this simulation using the same format used in Tokyo. For men, I am considering Bryan Perez, and for women Candelaria Resano as the selected surfers for universiality spots. It it changes, then the heats would change a little bit.

I wonder if there would be anything preventing from 3 (or even 2) athletes from the same country

[Pasolini 264]

But thinking about it, the same has happened to Brazil in 22. Only Brazil had 3 athletes on the top15, but as none. of them went to the top8, it finished 4th.

Well, although Spain has secured a quota alredy, is not official that Nadia qualifies to the games. Cause matemathically she hasnt yet. It's still posible for  Janire Gonzalez-Etxarri and  Lucía Machado to finish in a better place than her.

Expand  

well, you are right BUT if Janire and Lucia finish better than her, just give Spain the team quota already!

Are there any chances of getting a ticket?

Expand  

Yeah, independent on qualies.

 

So, basically:

Now we have 16 on MR and 32 on repechage.

by the end of 29th we will have 8 on MR and 16 on repechage.

 

All the 8 at the 5th main round will be necessarily top12.

 

So, if 4 of the 7 not on contention (Picklum, Fitzgibbons, Weston Webb, Bonvalot, Hennessy, Marks, Defay) advances, the top12 will necessarily qualify and therefore it will mean a quota for the other surfers who advance to Main Round 5.

that would be the holy grail. for the moment I hope to obtain our fourth quota

Expand  

Is there any official procedements for who would obtain the team quota?

[Pasolini 264]

Update on Universality Quotas:

No elegible country has representatives on the top50

 

So only El Salvador can get a quota, from one of the 3 athletes that participated in 2023

MEN
33 Porfirio Miranda
49Bryan Perez
49Daniel Monterrosa

 

In Women's

 

2023
13 Candelaria Resano

? Lucy Jarrard also on competition now!

when will we know the wild cards just after the surfing worlds?

Expand  

I believe they have until June to disclouse their quotas, but I would assume it would be in a couple of weeks.

 

The deadline for the NOCs to apply for quota was on January 15th, so it's difficult to know if AMerican Samoa for instance applied for Liam Wilson (hopefully so).

[Pasolini 264]

Apart from the direct Olympic quotas, ISA games are also important to define Universality elegibility.

 

An athlete must be top50 in either the WSG23 or WSG24.

 

In 2023, 4 athletes were top50, 3 men from El Salvador, 1 woman from Nicaragua.

 

 

MEN
33 Porfirio Miranda
49Bryan Perez
49Daniel Monterrosa

If I'm not mistaken all surfers that go through round 3 and/or repechage 4 will be top50 (top54 more precisely).

On men's side, Liam Wilson, Yeferson Lopez Oscar Guzman  and Cody Merritt are still on the repechage round 2.


WOMEN
13 Candelaria Resano

 

 All female surfers qualified to round3 and repechage 4 are top48, so even 3rd places on repechage 3 (tomorrow) are elegible (49-56).

 

If I'm not mistaken only Lucy Jarrard is still on the run (qualified to repechage r3), besides Resano.

 

Perez and Resano participated on a training camp in Teahupo'o last year and I guess they would be favorites for the quotas, but not sure how Perez is doing now.
