Andy Criere expands the Spanish Olympic surfing festival: it’s also at the Paris Games

Nadia Erostarbe paved the way for Spanish women’s surfing on Thursday, Janire Gonzalez it was expanded on Friday and Andy Criere took the baton this Saturday for national men’s surfing. Criere achieved a venue for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games after expanding the celebration of the great Spanish results to Puerto Rico’s World Surfing Games, the World Cup of this discipline. So, Criere is in Tahiti, the Olympic sub-site of this sport.

In an Olympic discipline since the Tokyo Games, Spain will debut in a big way at the Games, with three representatives that even the women tried to raise to four by qualifying the team at the World Cup event. A very good result for this sport, because it is also Erostarbe will fight this Sunday to climb to positions beyond the top6 that you are already insured. Criere made the move this Saturday to enter the world top 10 in a masculine key. Janire González, yes, was eliminated in the seventh of ten repechage rounds women, although after securing the Olympic ticket the previous day.

The jump to the Games was made this Saturday Cryer, who started the day in eighth of the twelve repechages with the need to advance the two to think hard about the Olympic ticket. That’s how it happened. The Spaniard was second in his first series of the day with 10.46 points, close to Indonesian Rio Waida’s 10.57, to enter the ninth round of the repechage. Here, he clocked 12.40 after just being outdone by the incomparable Brazilian Yago Dora’s 17.24. however, Criere earned the ticket for the tenth of twelve total championship repechagesa result that ensures him in the top 10 in the world.

Within, with ten surfers in total in the battle and With six Olympic places at stake, five contenders already have a ticket (Brazilian Gabriel Medina and Frenchman Kauli Vaast for the main draw, in addition to Dora, Frenchman Marco Mignot and Australian Ethan Ewing in the repechage). This situation means that Criere has confirmed its Olympic presence, with the aim of continuing to climb the positions in the tenth repechage that will take place this Saturday.

That will be your goal: join Nadia Erostarbe on Sunday, the final day of the championship, the only Spanish woman with a guaranteed presence on the final day. Janire González’s farewell to the seventh women’s repechage left her as a national asset in search of positions of honor, which also put in the contention for the best women’s team a difficult extra individual Olympic place .
