I've been wondering that for most of the Olympic surfing event, when seeing that most of the tricks consisted of staying upright (I was expecting jumps and stuff, but of course that's also because I had no clue :d).

Yes, there was a lot of talk here that surfers like Medina and Vaast were favorites in Tahiti because the judges in Tahiti valued that type of trick. I always wondered, how did they value it? Is it simply a question of which trick the judge likes the most and that's it?

 

In any case, I maintain my position, this should not be an Olympic sport.

But it's :HWI in the final, no? :p 

 

How was he robbed by the way? Apart from simply not getting the scores he wanted :p

An aerial like that only gets an 8, seriously? You can say that the criteria for this sport are subjective, but if that thing isn't worth at least a 9, what kind of shitty sport is this?

 

And curiously, JJF with a simpler trick gets a higher score than that?

wow Medina lost?. Guess Peru will bite the dust yet again now.

 

 

Brazil having a lot of trouble to get golds. Weston will have to neutralize this deficit. Only the volleyball women (x2) and Queiroz left as realistic chances I think.

And Ana Marcela in the open water. Anyway, who knows? Our two gold medals so far were not expected by anyone, maybe more will come along like these.
