Iquique, Chile, December 11, 2015 An intense day of critical heats transpired on the third day of action at the 2015 Iquique Para Todos ISA World Bodyboard Championship, bringing the competition one step closer to the Finals set for Sunday.
 
Team Peru put on a strong overall performance that boosted them into the overall lead in the Team Points Ranking with 6,335 potential points. Six of their seven athletes remain alive in the competition, including two, Miguel Rodriguez (Open Men) and Cesar Bauer (Dropknee) that have solidified their spots in the Grand Final of their respective divisions. Team Chile is nipping on the heels of Peru, in a very close second place with 6,310 potential points.
 
 
On the men's side of the action, heats in the Open, Junior and Dropknee Divisions ran at la Punta 1, with finalists being decided in Open and Dropknee. Peru's Miguel Rodriguez came out victorious of a tight Open Men Main Event Final with a heat total of 16.87, barely edging out the 16.57 heat total of the home team hero, Chile's Alan Muñoz. France's Amaury Lavernhe and Chile's Matias Diaz were relegated to the Repechage Round where they will try to scratch back into contention for a Gold Medal in the Grand Final.
 
Miguel Rodriguez ecstatically spoke about his performance that earned him a spot in the Grand Final.
 
"I am extremely happy. I was lucky enough to find some really good waves and make it to the Final. Competing against my idols, Amaury Lavernhe and Alan Muñoz, was incredible for me."
