TEAHUPO'O, Tahiti - Competition was cancelled at the Olympic surfing venue of Teahupo'o in Tahiti on Wednesday after an initial call to run, with conditions still super challenging after a storm swept though the region, forcing organizers to put the event on hold.Tahiti's Teahupo'o delivered some of the best conditions ever seen for a competition for the men's round three on Monday before strong winds ripped through the lineup and continued into Tuesday.
