The International Surfing Association released a statement on Thursday saying it removed Benjamin Lowe of Australia from the judging panel for the remainder of the competition to “protect the integrity and fairness of the ongoing competition.”The next day of competition — still undetermined — will help decide which athletes will take home Paris Olympics medals. Each heat will feature two surfers, with the winner advancing to the semifinals and finally the gold medal heat.
