There has been a double does of heartbreak for the Australian team at Tahiti’s Teahupo’o, with two surfers’ Olympic dream coming to a shattering end. Ethan Ewing and Tyler Wright have both been bundled out of the competition, with Ewing losing his dog-eat-dog battle with fellow Aussie Jack Robinson. Wright also lost her quarter-final clash with US world champion Caroline Marks.
Medina — the three-time World Surf League champion captured in one of the photographs of the Olympics earlier in the meet — progressed by defeating Joao Chianca. The other men’s semi-final is between Peru’s Alonso Correa and Tahitian Kauli Vaast, representing France. Wright, as a Round 1 winner, spent three days on the sidelines but was in action twice on Friday, first in her third-round heat against Israel’s Anat Lelior.
