The End of the Road provided the dream start to competition and the world's best answered the call. Near-perfection from Vahine Fierro, Sawyer Lindblad, and Ryan Callinan elevated the scale in heaving caverns. The GOAT showed he's still the man to beat alongside Gabriel Medina and John John Florence taking their heat wins. But, women's eliminations ensued and the yellow jersey is up for grabs with Molly Picklum in a prime position to overtake No. 1 along with reigning World Champ Caroline Marks marching forward. It all goes down at Teahupo'o providing the ultimate test.
