Teresa was in a good position so she came over to assist me to try to stop any other competitor from getting a good score to surpass me.вЂќ вЂњWe had a plan that whoever was in a more comfortable position in the heat would come to help the other at the end. вЂњThis is so important to me,вЂќ said Sequeira. вЂњThis is a goal that I set more than two years ago. вЂњItвЂ™s definitely an amazing feeling,вЂќ said Bonvalot. Utilizing strategy and teamwork, the Portuguese were able to fend off their competitors to claim two Olympic slots for their country at the same time.

Mulanovich will now join a Team Peru that finds themselves with a full squad, maxing out their slots for 2 men and 2 women in Tokyo. Given there was no eligible Asian woman in the top 30 ranking surfers to meet the quality control standard in the Olympic Qualification System, the slot was then given to the next ranking surfer of any continent, which was the Gold Medalist Mulanovich. Due to the fact that Japan qualified two women at the 2021 World Surfing Games, the provisional slot earned by JapanвЂ™s Shino Matsuda at the 2019 World Surfing Games needed to be reallocated as well to the next eligible surfer in the event. In a stroke of fate, the 2019 ISA World Surfing Games Gold Medalist Sofia Mulanovich of Peru found her way into the Olympic Games after falling out of the event earlier this week. Given that the two Japanese men, Murakami and Ohhara, are competing to fill JapanвЂ™s final male slot, that means that the 2019 continental slot earned by Murakami at the 2019 World Surfing Games will be reallocated to the next eligible Asian surfer, which in this case is IndonesiaвЂ™s Rio Waida. Therefore, ArgentinaвЂ™s Leandro Usuna has been awarded the menвЂ™s slot from the Pan Ams, while EcuadorвЂ™s Dominic Barona has been awarded the womenвЂ™s slot. Given that both of the Lima 2019 Pan American Games Gold Medalists, PeruвЂ™s Mesinas and Rosas, both earned qualification through the 2021 World Surfing Games, a higher priority event, both of the Pan American Games slots have been reallocated to the Silver Medalists in the event. The qualification shake up on Saturday resulted in spots that had been provisionally earned in previous qualification events being reallocated to other surfers. Tokyo 2020 reallocation slots go to Argentine, Indonesian, Ecuadorian - lead to full squad for Team Peru Both have advanced far enough to make it to finals day вЂ“ Murakami in the Main Event and Ohhara in the Repechage.
