Do we even have to watch the final to know that the japanese will win gold?

9.33 was too much for that wave...

ISA just discredit themselves handing a pasa to the final to the Japanese

Nice one for Italo

I think Igarashi had the best wave. I’m just not sure if his two waves were better than Medina’s two waves together.

Olympics is a joke

Ferreira  will get a chance to avenge his fellow countryman in the gold medal match against Igarashi

LOL, after the whole debacle between Medina and the national federation, it's funny to see him missing the final. I hope Ítalo wins the gold medal now.

Now go Ítalo  

Will the judges let him?

Not sure if it was undeserving, but every close call seems to go in Japan's favour.

That’s the informal host advantage at play. In subjectively judged sports you have to beat the host throughly. It’s like this at every multi-sports games.

This sport should honestly not be broadcast live, but rather on tape delay with just the highlights. I have never seen something as boring in sports as the athletes just sitting in the water waiting for a wave.
