Israeli surfer Anat Lelior will have to wait to find out if she can advance to the Round of 16 at the Olympics after organizers called off a planned third day of qualification heats.
The decision to delay was made after the men’s third round on Monday, after the arrival of a storm wrecked a morning of phenomenal waves at Tahiti’s Teahupo’o.

Lelior is set to face Australia’s Tyler Wright in the second heat once the third round does get underway.
