I saw that Afghanistan has a surfer there, I really hope he finds a way to qualify for the Olympics. What a story that would be!

There aren't any universality or tripartite commision places, so he really needs to be quite good in order to get the olympic spot.

I am unashamed, at getting nothing done.

This competition isn't really important, right? Congrats to Santiago anyway.

Besides the fact (I believe) It gives quotas for the Pan Am Games

Next year it will be a qualifier for Olympics afaik. It is considered world championships though. And Igarashi is a solid surfer from World Surf League. I am not sure, but as I remember ISA will allow at olympics only surfers who started at World Surfing Games.

actually this is the most important competition outside the Pro Tour (WSL), which is reserved to a small number of surfers coming almost only from the 4/5 powerhouses of the sport (26 are the "regulars")...;)

 

p.s. Igarashi is a WSL Tour member...so, Muniz's success can be described as "very prestigious"...

 

p.p.s. next year, this same competition will be the key event to earn an Olympic spot (apart from those reserved to the WSL tour specialists)...:evil:

    • Still wouldn't want an iconic dog around me though  
    • Can't think of anything more efficient than creating a department on government efficiency and nominating not one but two people to lead it.   This has really strong "giving the two most annoying people you know busywork" energy
    • About the pictograms: I usually fail to see how they are tied to some city or country anyway, a slightly different line or font isn't going to make me think "Ah, Italy!" or "Yep, that's China!", so I am very happy with these ones  They look super recognizable, especially for the Summer Olympics it's often a puzzle to connect every pictogram with a sport, here it's very clear  
    • It's not just some dog, Babydog is an icon of West Virginian politics!
    • Meanwhile also Elon Musk ('Government Efficiency') and some FOX News guy (Defense) have been put forward as likely nominees for ministerial posts. For now at least, we know there's going to be a 4 year tombola with people being hired as 'the best ever' and fired as 'a big loser' depending on how long they openly stay loyal to Trump (his words basically, loyalty to him personally is more important than good government).
    • Imagine being a senator and even there having to have someone else's dog around you at a place where you're supposed to be able to focus on important things  
    • Fingers crossed the women’s curling gold medal match also undergoes changes, very preferably an hour earlier so it doesn’t conflict with the men’s hockey gold medal match    Seriously, what were they thinking 
    • And yet another version is out . This time with some more noticeable changes.   Ice Hockey: Women's semifinals moved from the Rho Arena to the Santa Giulia Arena Women's gold medal game moved up to a 19:10 start time (was previous 20:10)   Speed Skating: Most of the events have had their session cut by somewhere between 5 and 30 minutes. Start times remain the same   Figure Skating: Looks like the order of events in team event is now: Ice Dance -> Pairs -> Women. Women were previously listed first.   Alpine Skiing: Downhill portion of the team combined cut by 45 minutes 1st Run of the Giant Slalom and Slalom events cut by 30 minutes   Ski Mountaineering: Sprint heats extended by 8 minutes. Finals session extended by 13 minutes   Ski Jumping: All sessions shortened by 5 to 15 minutes  
    • Detailed Competition schedule with start times is out   20241031_MiCo2026 Para Comp Schedule Version 4.pdf
