Once round 2 is over, there will be no more repechage series at the youth world championships
Lack of waves in the following days forced the decision; those who advance to round 2, move up to the main event
After the second round, there will be no more repechage rounds at the ISA Junior World Championships being held in Macumbra, Rio de Janeiro, according to the live broadcast of the tournament.
Those who advance will advance to Round 3 of the main event and the champions will be determined through that round, event sources told DUKE.
The decision was made because, as seen in the forecast, the waves are going to disappear in Rio de Janeiro and it will not be possible to surf.
With this, for the first time in a long time, perhaps the first, the junior world champions will be determined by surfers without counting on the extra life of the repechage.
Today was the 3rd day and according to the forecast, tomorrow or the day after the sea will be very shallow or absolutely flat at Macumba beach.
A lot of progress was made today with 15-minute series and almost 12 hours of event.
Tomorrow's schedule shows a similar itinerary, with only 15-minute sets:
