TEAHUPO'O, Tahiti — Jubilation and disappointment were seen on the faces of surfers coming ashore after their heats Sunday, as competitors faced the first day of eliminations in the Paris Olympics surfing competition in Tahiti. For the second round, the men's and women's competitions had eight heats of two surfers, with the winner advancing to the next round and the loser being eliminated. Waves were noticeably smaller and with less barrels than the opening day of competition, while a lack of conditions delayed heats during the men's session. The next competition day will be determined after officials assess wave conditions.
