Two-time World Surf League champion Tyler Wright insists she will be ready to represent Australia at the Olympics next month, despite her withdrawal from the latest WSL event in Brazil, which has forced Surfing Australia to put in place standby arrangements.
Wright, who overcame a battle with post viral syndrome in 2018 to return to elite surfing, and more recently had seven screws inserted into her head to improve her breathing, was scheduled to compete at the WSL Rio Pro this week. But last week the organisers announced that the world No 9 would be absent due to an unspecified injury.
