Round 3 of Olympic surfing was supposed to wrap up on Monday, July 29. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate and only the men’s event was completed, with the women’s side being postponed. After initially trying to see if Round 3 could be run on July 30, it was just announced that the entire competition has been postponed to at least July 31. This complicates the final day of competition, as the men’s and women’s quarterfinals, semifinals, and medal finals are now up in the air.
