What about the Gold Coast qualification for the Championship Tour between Medina, Morais and Fioravanti?

I didn't get it, buddy.

 

Are you talking about that intern competition for the last wildcard?

 

As far as I know, this competition would be on the "Australian leg" (3 events). Between Wright and Fioravanti only. Likely, they have no idea what to do about it right now. I believe that after all of it, they will let both surfers participate at all events.

 

The stage in Gold Coast was cancelled. Bells, Margaret, G-Land and Saquarema were postponed.

Since this was double elimination, the Argentinian advanced to the gold medal match, while Perez “won” bronze.

But Argentina  finished 4th?

it was  Muniz (Repechage Round #5 - Heat #29 loser) who finished 4th...

 

 Usuna instead advanced to the GM match after beating first  Muniz and then in the following round  Perez, who ended up in 3rd place (then  Usuna lost to  Mesinas in the final and won the Silver medal, while the man from won Gold)...

 

yeah, the double elimination format can be quite complicated at first sight...

I totally forget this was one of the events 2 athletes can compete, so I didn't even bother to check the name. Totally confusing lo

A small victory for the ISA, but a rather inconclusive ruling from CAS.
