"The hottest show on earth!"
Today we find Chris Cote, BeachGrit’s man on the sand at the Olympic qualifier in Puerto Rico, reporting on the penultimate day of competition for his new YouTube show Toxic Positivity.
The most important matter is whether or not Brazil, already hamstrung in their quest for Olympic surfing gold with one surfer injured physically, the other famously terrified of the site of the Games, can squeeze one more surfer into the mix.
The coveted extra ticket to Teahupoo will go to the country that finishes atop the team leaderboard at the conclusion of competition tomorrow. Brazil, whose team at the Qualifier includes the recently retired Filipe Toledo, as well as Gabriel Medina and Yago Dora, leads with France a not-too-distant second.
The question Chris Cote asks, therefore, if Brazil wins will the third male surfer be Yago Dora or will it be Gabriel Medina?
The answer will surprise.
“I’m sure you’ve been watching, I’m sure you’ve been complaining – this is BeachGrit,” says Chris Cote. “So to all you haters out there, why don’t you celebrate what’s been happening down here in Puerto Rico…Finals Day tomorrow will be the greatest day in surf.”
And come tomoz for Chris Cote’s wrap of the Final Day!
