His second saw him clock a time of 31:55 in the technical, with Marticorena again runner-up in 32:10 and Andrew Newton from New Zealand the bronze medallist in 32:28.

Candice Appleby gave the Americans another gold with great performances the whole way through the women's SUP technical race competition.

Zilg was nearly a second back in fourth in a time of 30.08.

Diniz won in front of Benoit Carpentier of France and American Zane Schweitzer, with the latter also securing their spot in Chile.

Mexican Felipe Rodriguez and Tamil Martino from Peru qualified too.

Cosoleto beat Kaede Inoue of Japan to the gold, with Aline Adisaka of Brazil, Colombia's Isabella Gomez and American Candice Appleby finishing third to fifth, ensuring their qualification.

Finally, France won the team relay in 13min 12sec, finishing 16 seconds in front of Japan and 33 ahead of Spain, who claimed the minor medals.
