The third day of competition at the Itacoatiara Pro 2024 took place today in perfect conditions, marking a crucial day as we head into the final stages of the event.
The final event of the South American leg, which will close the first semester of the IBC World Tour, is coming to an end, and the emotions couldn’t be any more intense.
With the competition reduced to 24 riders, it was essential for competitors to advance through today’s rounds 5 and 6 to secure a spot in the Finals Day. Despite the anticipated dropping swell, Itacoatiara Beach presented us with pumping waves all morning, allowing us to keep the schedule as planned. The objective was clear for all riders: win 2 heats and advance to the Quarter-Finals.
The day started with a bang. With head-high waves and double overhead sets, the usual suspects put on a show for all the bodyboarding fans from the very start, setting the tone for the rest of the day.
Following this, we moved into the Man-on-Man stage. Once again, Amaury Lavernhe, Sócrates Santana, and Armide Soliveres stood out, each finishing with scores between the 7 and 8 points range.
Sócrates Santana was the highlight of Round 6, achieving a combined score of 15.00 points (7.00+8.00).
Tomorrow, we expect to run the Finals Day of competition at the Itacoatiara Pro 2024, a decisive day that will close the first semester of the year for the Men’s Division as well as theIBC World Tour South American Leg.
We anticipate a morning full of action and head-high perfection to close the event in style, likely resulting in a shake-up in the rankings as we may head to the Maldives with a new Ranking Leader.
The call will be at 6:30 am local time for a possible 7:15 am start with the quarter-finals, where stacked heats are set and ready to go.
