The World Surf League has just officially announced that Kolohe Andino is guaranteed a spot in Tokyo 2020. He is the first American man to officially be one of the 10 qualifiers for surfing's debut at the games.

This is the third of 10 CT members to be announced, Jordy Smith was announced in France and yesterday Kanoa Igarashi.

Andino showed his emotions when, during the live broadcast of the MEO Rip Curl Pro, he seemed happy because he had guaranteed one of his goals for the year.

The fight for the other male surfer who will travel to Tokyo 2020 will go to Pipeline and will surely be decided between John John Florence, Kelly Slater and Seth Moniz.
