Canadian Olivia Stokes, Costa Rican Leah Díaz and Salvadoran Sindy Portillo are provisionally qualified for Santiago 2023 regardless of how the Surf City El Salvador ISA World Longboard Championship currently taking place in El Sunzal, El Salvador, ends.

In the case of Stokes, who is still part of the Salvadoran event, as her compatriot Claire Parsons was eliminated in round 2, there is no one who can take away the ticket she obtained through the 2023 Pan American Games in Panama that took place a few days ago.

The maximum quota of competitors per country in Santiago 2023 is one per country, which makes it impossible for the Canadian to be surpassed in this World Cup, which is of a higher hierarchy than the Pan American Championship.

For her part, Leah Díaz is not participating in the World Championships, but there is no other Costa Rican in the event either, so her bronze medal in Panama 2023 is giving her her qualification.

Finally, Sindy Portillo, who is competing in the world championship, also guaranteed herself a place in Panama 2023 at least based on her result; there is no other Salvadoran in the event who can occupy the only spot that will go to El Salvador in this division in Santiago 2023.

The only position in the women's category that still cannot be named is that of Chloe Calmón, Pan American champion, because the Brazilian Atalanta Batista is also participating in the world championship. If she manages to place herself in the qualifying zone and does so ahead of Calmón, she would be taking her place.

Both Calmón, Portillo and Stokes can be placed among the four eligible places that go through this World Cup to Santiago 2023 and in that case they would go to the fifth, sixth and seventh eligible places of the Pan American Games that, without the World Cup being finished, for the moment are occupied by: Ana Camila Kaspar (PER), Inés Beisso (URU) and Iana Ramírez (PUR).

All this can change, of course, if a Peruvian is placed in the qualification zone here in the World Cup, for example.

What is a fact is that the Canadian, Costa Rican and Salvadoran teams are provisionally classified.

On the men's side, nothing can be said yet about the four who placed themselves in the qualification zone for Panama 2023: Clemente, Schweizer, Bahía and Flores because at the World Cup in El Salvador they all still have their compatriots alive in the event.
