Tyler Wright finished third at Teahupoo and narrowly missed out on making it to the finals in first place.
Tatiana Weston will not repeat her Lowers finals this year.
Mihimana Braye finished fifth, but in the quarterfinals he was unable to beat Barron Mamiya.

Medina looked like he would win the event but he came up against an inspired Robinson in the grand final. He was left out of the finals and his chances of the Olympic Games now depend on the Brazilian team at the ISA 2024.
Medina had a very convincing performance in the quarterfinals and semi-finals but was unable to repeat it in the grand final.
Gabriel Medina's skill on the Teahupoo tubes is impressive.
