An all Canadian final between Sanoa Dempfle-Olin and Mathea Dempfle-Olin :yes :CAN at the CAL Open, with older sister Mathea coming out on top to win her first WSL Qualifying Series Pro title :thumbup:

 

1ACB38E6-BD0A-46F6-B6EC-92A9D6E83593.jpeg

 

Mathea’s two best waves scored 14.17 to take the victory. Sanoa finished just 1.00 behind with a two best wave combined score of 13.17. 
 

M. Dempfle-Olin Wave Scores- 1.23, 6.17, 4.73, 8.00, 4.33, 1.23

 

S. Dempfle-Olin Wave Scores- 4.50, 2.67, 6.00, 5.37, 0.67, 4.17, 4.53, 0.43, 5.93, 7.17

 

Should be an exciting battle to see which of our athletes will qualify for the Olympics in Surfing. The only problem is we have three athletes who could be contending for quotas (Sanoa, Mathea, “Rising Star” Erin Brooks) but for the Olympics there’s a two quota limit per NOC.

:GBR Surfing Champion says her sport must learn to do without surfboards, wetsuits, international travel, media coverage.

 

Surf champion Lucy Campbell says her sport must be greener - BBC News

Without plastic surfboards, to be more exact..

 

She definitely doesn't say it should be without surfboards :d 

 

Edit: Sorry, I think I took your post a bit too serious and didn't see the sarcasm, my bad :p

    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons

    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW.
