After a few days of weather disruptions, the surfing competition in Teahupo’o on the French Polynesian island of Tahiti is back on track. Officials have given the green light for athletes to hit the waves, with the women’s round 3 heats set to kick off today at 7 a.m. local time. For those following from afar, that's 7 p.m. in Paris and 1 p.m. on the East Coast.
If the weather remains clear, both the men’s and women’s quarterfinals heats will follow immediately after the round 3 heats. The schedule indicates that Friday will be a rest day, allowing the surfers to recharge before the semifinals and medal runs scheduled for Saturday.
