Surfing competitions started today, I was taking a look at the confronts, and we have Rosas :PER against Barona :ECU on first heat.

 

They made the final at Lima, and Rosas got the gold and the Olympic Spot, but Rosas reached the qualifying position in the ISA Games, and "gave" her spot from Panamerican to Barona. I still remember Barona's celebration after the official confirmation, she even went to hug Rosas while she was getting out the sea.

 

Now, they face each other too soon :(

Men’s/women’s shortboard gold/bronze medal matches will be determined today, if I’m not mistaken?

It looks like all surfing finals will be held on October 30th. Nothing over the weekend due to the weather.

So an update on the men’s/women’s shortboard events:

 

In women’s shortboard, :BRA Tatiana Weston Webb has advanced to the final (and has assured herself a guaranteed silver medal) where she’ll face the winner of :CAN Sanoa Olin v. :CRC Leilani McGonagle (both are guaranteed at least bronze). As Tatiana has already qualified for Paris through the WSL Championship Tour, the heat between Olin and McGonagle is a direct battle for a Paris quota. In men’s shortboard, :VEN Francisco Bellorin (guaranteed at least silver) has advanced to the final, with the winner of :PER Lucca Mesinas and :PER Miguel Tudela (both are guaranteed at least bronze) joining him. As none of these athletes have secured an Olympic quota yet, whoever wins the gold medal match will qualify themselves for Paris.

Two different kinds of tears on display after that heat. Pretty compelling images in terms of what the Olympics means to people.

Not sold on SUP surfing, but longboard could have some promise as a second Olympic discipline.

The swell is so bad they've switched to nature documentary mode and are now showing the pelicans flying around and nesting nearby :roflmao:

Reyes :PER proving that a single quality wave can beat out a couple mediocre ones. Great surf from her :hatoff:

    • In the main round 4 groups created each will have 6 nations (3 qualified from each preliminary group). each team qualify with the points they gain from the teams qualified with them (the 4th team results are ignored) first 2 teams from the main round qualify to the quarter final   Group I:                                             4 PTS  4 PTS  2 PTS  1 PTS  1 PTS  0 PTS     Group II:  4 PTS  3 PTS  2 PTS  2 PTS  1 PTS  0 PTS   Group III:  4 PTS  3 PTS  3 PTS  2 PTS  0 PTS  0 PTS   Group IV:  4 PTS  4 PTS  2 PTS  2 PTS  0 PTS  0 PTS  
    • yesterdays' results:  VS  26-31 Very good result for  to qualify to the main round, the team improved (but not to compete with the high level yet).  is a fast and rapid team but lacking the strength and good defense.  VS  29-29, great game from both giants,  finished the first half 16-11 but a great comeback from  in second half with special thanks to Alex Dujshebev who scored in the last 6 seconds and to Dujshebev junior (Daniel) who saved the long shot from the center to secure the draw in a thriller game. De Vargas (  gk) did one great moment in the game when he saved a penalty and the Ref gave the Swedish player a red card thinking it came straight to De Vargas face but the GK told the ref it came from his hand asking the ref to cancel the red card in a great moment (at that time the score was 20-14 to Sweden)    VS  28-38, great game from the african side,  is a big question mark, in 1999 Wch they finished 8th and since then the team performance was keep going down (decent number of players switched nationalities),  was leading the game from start till the end and secure a historical qualify to the main round.  VS  18-23, is it a surprise? ..yes and no ..  should be the more favorable side but their performance even in the European qualification was not great..  beat  in European qualification with 1 goal difference in a very tough game.  was performing very well from the beginning finishing the 1st half 14-8,  GK get the credit for such brilliant result.
