“It’s mind blowing how unfair it is.' “I just think [it’s] not fair for me to blow a lifetime opportunity. There is some negligence.”
Angelo Bonomelli was the first alternate for the debut of surfing as an Olympic competition.
Twenty surfers made the cut for the inaugural men's competition being held this week at Tsurigasaki Beach. Bonamelli and second alternate Carlos Munoz of Costa Rica both failed to make it to Japan after Morais' withdrawal. In normal times, alternates often travel with their delegations to the Olympic host site. These are not normal times. With stringent COVID-19 regulations in Japan, alternates like Bonamelli did not travel. He was in Costa Rica — where he currently lives — when he got the call. Morais told AP that he'd known about his diagnosis for weeks. He was holding out hope that he would return a negative COVID-19 test in time to compete.
