Island teenager wins silver at Pan Am Games
Sanoa Dempfle-Olin of Tofino was already in the back of the Canadian team pick-up truck Monday when she was asked to scramble off for an impromptu presentation and was handed her official Paris 2024 ticket as she qualified Canada for its first surfing berth in the Olympic Games.
Dempfle-Olin beat Leilani McGonagle of Costa Rica 10.0 points to 4.2 in the head-to-head semifinal Monday of the medal round at the Santiago Pan American Games and advanced to meet Tatiana Weston-Webb of Brazil in the gold-medal final and settled for the silver after Weston-Webb won 12.33 points to 10.13. Both the gold- and silver-medallists qualified their nations for spots in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
It was the second consecutive medal for the Tofino family as older sister Mathea Dempfle-Olin won bronze in the 2019 Lima Pan Am Games.
