Surfing at the Pan American Games 2019

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the quota from this event will likely be the third place finisher, correct? Brazil and the United States will end up maxing out their two quotas in each event from the World Surf League standings in all likelihood.

Except that Brazil surfers are not really great, and athletes from other nations will challenge USA here. I guess Argentina, Canada and Peru might have a chance to get a quota.

Alright thank you for clarification!!!  I just want to know which events to follow closer for Olympic qualification at Lima.

Do you know if the entry lists are in order of World Ranking?

 

It's probably in order of importance regarding the qualification events. #1 and #2 seeds from the Men's event were on the podium at the last ISA World Games (argentine athlete was the champion, and the peruvian was third). Same for the Women's where the american #1 seed was the best from the Americas at that event.

It appears to be, but the entry list is out of date.

 

USA declined one quota and Panama got it for ex.

That wasn’t the entry list, It was the initial quota assignments

my picks (not that I'm a real expert, tbh)...

 

Santiago Muniz, Lucca Mesinas and Jhony Corzo should be the top male specialists (but surprising results from a few other competitiors are not to be excluded -I don't know anything about the race course, which could be a factor)...

 

among the women, instead, it should be a Brisa Hennessy one-woman show...

and in terms of Olympic qualification, since I think Hennessy would eventually qualify through the WSL (as surely will do the American girls), I'd keep an eye especially on Bethany Zelasko and Daniela Rosas...

Muñiz has been out of surfing for like 6 months (He had some psychological issue, I don't understand well). He came back recently in one competition but very out of shape. I'm not expecting anything from him here.

no Brisa Hennessy...the women's competition (and the fight for the Olympic quota) becomes interesting...
