These are the surfing series in Paris 2024
According to DUKE's calculations, this is how the clashes will be
Olympic surfing will take place in Teahupoo, Tahiti between July 27 and August 5, likely taking up four days of that waiting period.
With the determination of the universal places about 15 days ago, the order of seeding for the test could be established, and therefore the round 1 series can be carried out, which according to what DUKE learned based on a source from the ISA will be eight series of three people.
The order of the series is not necessarily this one. It is presumed that it will be like the CT in which 1 and 2 seeds are in series 4 and 3 respectively.
What is certain is that the matches follow the criteria set at the beginning of each series: number 1 goes against number 16 and number 24, then number 2 against number 15 and number 23, and so on as the places move.
There is an important clarification to make and that is that Caitlin Simmers, precisely the 1st in the current ranking, will be the 24th seed, that is, the last because she was the one who obtained the worst place of the 24 in the ISA World Surfing Games 2024, which is the event that was used to establish the seeds.
Nicaraguan Candelaria Resano is 23rd and Saffi Vette 22nd and then everything continues as in the image below.
