Sixteen minutes remaining, right now.
Current situation in the water.
First priority, Yellow, second priority, Red.
And now third priority, White, fourth priority, Blue.
You've won every single heat because you're smart.
It doesn't matter who you've got in your heat.
All right? It doesn't matter, they are just names.
I need you for the next 20 minutes to be...
cold-blooded.
I need you to be nerves of steel
and focus only on what I need to do next.
Our coach, Llewellyn, he's from South Africa
and he's extremely passionate and it's really great
because he puts that on to us and makes us want it even more.
Now when you come in on a beach,
I want your legs shaking, I want you nauseous
from paddling, hunting, surfing your heart out.
Can you do this?
-Yeah. -You can do this, okay.
-Good luck. -Thanks.
Hey!
Go!
Oh, no.
My performance this week, I was feeling very good.
And, yeah, liking my board, enjoying the waves.
And just felt like
I was pretty unlucky with the heat draw and...
I hit at least one
world-tour surfer in every heat.
Far out. That looked so hard.
I know, I kept looking to see if you...
Yeah, no, 'cause they got longer lifts down here,
and I was like, "If Paige gets one those..."
-Far out. Sorry, man. -What did I get in the end?
You got a four-- you got a four-something
-on that last one. -Yeah.
And then you needed a four, another four.
So hard. Just changes with these rips all the time.
I definitely came here with the Olympics in mind
and now looking back in hindsight
I can now say that I had a pretty tough run.
But, yeah, can't do much about that.
Just too long--
As soon as you got that one wave,
all of a sudden it triggered.
It was a terrible wave but it triggered an amp in you.
-Yeah. -All right, think fast.
-You. -You.
Yeah.
Okay, you still in it?
Yeah, good part is, since I stayed this long
in the main round, now I'm in the repo,
so I have another chance.
I'm gonna do my best in that.
JAPAN
Red goes to the lead with a 4.83 and a 4.0.
Fourth place, White, Sofía Mulánovich, 0.50.
You need a 4.47.
Yellow's second.
Yellow, you need a 5.83 to return to the lead.
One more, one more, one more! One more. Go, go, go!
In no other sport in the world do you have a tennis court
going up and down
or all the elements of nature
working on you at the same time.
So, you're competing against your competitor,
against yourself for scores, and against the ocean
to get the opportunity to perform.
You went into second.
You got a good score on that last one.
-I did? -Yeah, I think Sofía
ended up in the lead.
-Really? -Yeah.
Sofía's first and I think you knocked out Japan.
She loves these type of waves.
The bigger the better for Bianca.
The problem is the shifting conditions.
It's very difficult to be in the right place.
The waves are moving constantly.
But so far so good.
-Well done, Sofía. -It was you first and Bianca
-in second. -Yeah, I think so, yeah.
-Yeah, first and second. -Okay, cool. Well done.
Yeah, it's on there. Bianca, Bianca.
Yeah, it's on there. I checked it on his phone.
Second. Well done.
Hi, how you doin'?
-Are you good? -Yeah.
-Doing your rounds? -We got waves.
-Everything else is fixable. -Yeah.
It's almost game on.
Gotta get Rachel through this heat, bruh.
We're pushing hard for top European slots here.
You still have another chance.
We've still got Rachel Presti in the water.
Yeah, I know, I know.
-She's really doing great. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
First priority, Yellow, second priority, Blue.
Blue, Blue, you need 1.41 to move up to second.
This is a big moment for her. She's only 17, bruh.
And she's surfing against two WCT surfers.
I ended up getting Courtney and Sally,
which is really cool. It's because of the Olympics,
it really brought a lot of good surfers here,
which is insane because,
I mean, the competition is better than ever.
Go, Rach, go!
Five, four, three, two, one.
No Olympics for Rach.
Big heat.
Big heat, big heat.
You've got a long future ahead, okay?
All right, you'll get your opportunity, okay?
Of course, I'm sad that I didn't qualify.
And you know, I wanted to be number one but...
they got some good waves, so did I,
and in the end, I ended up losing.
All right, here we are, this is the team round five.
White, for South Africa, Bianca Buitendag.
My goal...
is to qualify for the Olympics and that's it.
I speak to God quite often,
almost every time I go into the water.
So, I just kind of say, "Whatever you want to happen,
I'm gonna trust that and I'll be happy with that."
In blue, for Australia, Stephanie Gilmore.
In yellow, for Brazil, Tatiana Weston-Webb.
Three, two, one.
In the water now, in red, for Team USA, Caroline Marks.
First, White.
-Yeah! -Second, Red.
And third, Yellow, needs a 5.49
and fourth, Blue, needs a 5.39.
That was her tack, huh?
Point of difference.
-Brazil! -Brazil!
I've surfed against them loads during my career
and my South African coach and I just had
a bit of a different angle going into the heat.
-That was a really good call. -Yeah.
No, no, of course, well done.
I sat on a completely different peak,
so that I don't have to challenge for waves.
I left them alone and it seemed to work out.
