Alan Cleland: Underdog becomes champion
At 21 years old and low in the pack on the Men's Challenger Series, Cleland was not among the headliners when he arrived in El Salvador for the 2023 ISA World Surfing Games, but as the eight-day competition progressed, the Mexican showed that he is not one to be taken lightly.
Cleland finished the competition with three entries among the Top 10 highest-scoring waves, including the 9.73-point scorcher he saved for the final against Igarashi and Peruâs Luca Mesinas and Miguel Tudela.
Now qualified to the Santiago 2023 Pan American Games, Clelandâs performance in El Salvador also got him closer to qualifying for his first Olympic Games.
If South Africaâs Jordy Smith, who received the ticket to Paris 2024 on Day 6 of competition, qualifies again through the World Championship Tour, Cleland would become the top candidate to replace Smith for the quota from the 2023 ISA World Surfing Games.

Pascuales rifa baba!!!! felicidades "Alancito" y Alan! un orgullo ver como lo logras!
Who edited this? Why wouldn't you have put the waves in chronological order?
The most bizarre piece of editing I've ever seen
maybe someone who knows nothing about surfing? yet, it`s weird, common sense would tell anyone to put it chronologically.
Cause it's the Olympics and in the Olympics they show one person's whole performance and then the next person's performance and so on
Vamos Mexico!!!
Oro para los EEUU es gringo â€
@@tufather-dt8zi naciĂł y se crio en Mexico bocĂłn jajajaj

Âż where is Jhony Corzo the great mexican champion of 2016 ?
And letâs not forget the amazing voice of B L
Erik Logan, head of the Word Shame League, reminds me of the late Julio Grondona, who for years was the boss at Conmebol... while Erik has to follow the pressure of the world surfing market (doing everything so that Brazilian surfers don't won the world title for several years, consecutively), the Argentine JĂșlio Grondona did everything so that the Brazilian clubs could not win the Copa Libertadores (to the benefit of the Argentine clubs)... manipulating the arbitration, of course. In the last stage of the ranch, in California, this became evident... until when will surfing be hostage to the "subjectivity" (not to say interests) of the judges? Why were the criteria in relation to progressive and innovative surfing lowered? Brazilian surfers are the best at this (especially in aerial maneuvers), nowadays? Why aren't mechanisms created so that the subjectivity in the grades is as small as possible? Could it be that the "PelĂ©" in the history of surfing, Mr. Kelly Slater would you have the answers to these questions? Anyway, I still believe that the only way out for this evil to be nipped in the bud is the migration of all Brazilian surfers who are in the WSL to the ISA (or to a new league to be created, where no partial judgments, cowardice and hypocrisy exist) RIP Surf!
It doesn't matter the organization when there is bad intention. Gabriel Medina was largely prejudiced in the Olympic semifinal to favor the Japanese surfer (local competitor) to not have a Brazilian final in Tokyo. As for migrating from one organization to another, no one is going to switch from WSF to ISA. The WSF, ex-ASP, is the world's elite and professional surfing, with a World Cup distributed in several stages around the world throughout the year, similar to F1 and F-Indy, and millionaire prizes. Not by chance, at the debut of surfing at the Olympic Games in Tokyo 2020, all medalists were from the WSF.
ISA, on the other hand, is more amateur surfing, held in a single event every year and with modest prizes, even reminding a government institution.
But ISA is amateur surfing. The world's surfing elite is the WSF, formerly the ASP.
Nope!
