Israeli surfer Anat Lelior loses in her heat in round 3 to Australia’s Tyler Wright, ending her Olympic run.

Far from Paris in the waves of Tahiti, French Polynesia, Lelior — who also represented Israel in Tokyo — scores 7.74 points to Wright’s 11.10.

Round 3 was delayed by several days after the events in Tahiti were repeatedly canceled due to a storm causing unsafe surfing conditions.
