France’s Vahine Fierro dominates Heat #2
Surfing with confidence and ease, Vahine Fierro (FRA), a regualr at Teahupo’o, out paced her competitors in Heat #2 of Women’s Round 1. She mixed a couple clean tube rides with a layback snap and some carving top turns to earn a total heat score of 11.17. She was in complete control from start to finish.
Second place, with a heat score of 4.30, went to Team Peru’s Sol Aguirre. With a heat score of 2.43, Spain’s Janire Etxabarri came in third. Both Aguirre and Etxabarri will get a chance to advance during Round 2’s repechage.
Speaking with Olympic Surf Reporter Ash Tulloch after her heat, Fierro beamed with pride, “This morning, I woke up with butterflies in my stomach and a little nervous. But it was such an honor surfing here at home for the Olympics.”
