The square union in principle is for Israel but my question is who would be the 1st book union, because the following are the Dutch and Spanish 2 and have fallen into the same round of repescas. If the Israelite classified in the 2020 world or would have a vacancy for who would be the square of the 1st reservation?

 

good question...I fear that they would eventually go down to the team ranking points...and the representative from the team higher in the 2019 ISA Worlds final ranking would finally prevail...

 

but this is just my logical interpretation, based on the criteria they will use also for some reallocation of the WSL spots (where they will go down to the team world champion at the ISA Games having priority for a 3rd surfer if the WSL ranking can't fill all the established quota places)...

 

actually, I don't have (and I fear nobody has) any clue about such kind of situation (hoping it doesn't happen, so we don't have toworry about it)...

A silver and a sixth place, great brazilian result considering that in women we are not as strong as in men.

After the end of today's competition, a update about the olympic quotas for men.

 

Asia:  are in round with 3, 2 and 1 surfer, respectively. At repechage round 3 there are the other surfers from  and only one from  and 

 

Africa: Only  has a surfer in Round 3.  has its three surfers in Repechage

 

Oceania: Only  may get this quota. Billy Stairmand is the best athlete from this continent so far. He's at Round 3. The other two surfers are in Repechage. (Again, I'm not counting Australia)

 

Europe: Round 3:  and at Repechage: (They will qualify through WSL)

Oceania and Africa have defined their Olympic quotas.

 

Billy Stairmand from  will be the best athlete in Oceania and conquered his quota.

 

In Africa, the quota goes to Ramzi Boukhiam from . He is doing an incredible journey in this competition. Up this moment he's in Round 6.

 

 

Tomorrow we will find out the quotas in Europe and Asia, and probably, the champion. The battle for European quotas is between  and the Asian quota

in Surf you can never be sure...there's always a chance that the weather conditions force to call the day off/slow down the program and force to go to the next day to end the tournament...

 

and in this particular event there's also the chance of a tie for 9th/11th/13th etc. places, which could make the Olympic qualification a mess (at least for us, I'm sure that ISA officials know what's the tie-breaker in case of 2 candidates to the Olympic ticket sharing the same final position)...

this Moroccan guy is just unbelievable...I did never, never expected him to go this far...

 

and tbh I didn't expect also our guy to be still in the competition at this stage of the event...

 

by the way, I think Morais is pretty much the man who should take the European quota...even if the fact that the Spanish and the German guy are in the same repechage heat could help 1 of the 2 to stay alive also after rep. round #9...

Is he perhaps a French Moroccan?
