Surfing: Tatiana Weston-Webb of Brazil advances to the semi-finals
Perhaps the most in form female surfer of the day, Brazil’s Tatiana Weston-Webb has advanced to the medal rounds. With powerful rail surfing and impeccable timing on her top turns, the goofy-footed Weston-Webb (BRA) made the most of the tricky surfing conditions in her quarter final heat against Spain’s Nadia Erostarbe, earning the heats two best waves and winning a place in the semi-finals.
Erostarbe (ESP) finished with a 3.57 and a 2.77 for a total of 6.34. Weston-Webb (BRA) kept her Olympic dreams alive with a 4.50 and a 3.60, totalling a heat-winning 8.10.
