With Day 6 of the ISA World Surfing Games coming to a close, Brazil is leading the fight for the men's extra slot at Paris 2024, with the United States close behind. The women's extra slot is hotly contested between Australia and France, who both have three competitors still in contention.

Both Brazil and the United States lost their first male member today: Griffin Colapinto fell first in the 7th round of the repechage and then it was Jadson André's turn; the latter's 450 points versus the former's 390 are what give the green and yellow team the advantage.

The situation is interesting for the definition of the men's fight because although Brazil leads, the United States has its two members alive in the main event and Brazil has them in the repechage.

Close behind are Japan and Indonesia, who also still have two surfers left in the event and a chance to take home the extra spot.

In fifth place is Portugal, with only one surfer in the tournament, with no mathematical chance of achieving victory as a men's team.

Here's how the main event semis turned out:

At the women's level, the fight is between Australia and France with potential perfect scores and Portugal and the United States, who still have two surfers in the tournament.

The main event semifinals and the repechage matches were as follows:
