SAQUAREMA, Brazil — Teenage surfer Erin Brooks, whose bid for Canadian citizenship was denied this week, won the Corona Saquarema Pro on Saturday.
The 16-year-old Brooks defeated Australia Sophie McCulloch in the final of the competition, an event on the World Surf League's Challenger Series.
The last opportunity to qualify for the Olympics is at the ISA World Championships in Puerto Rico in February. Canada's citizenship laws are complex, with amendments changing the rules in 2009 and 2015. But essentially Bill C-37 in 2009 ended the extension of citizenship to second-generations born abroad.
No Canadian has ever won a WSL Challenger Series event. The win means Brooks automatically qualifies for next year's Challenger Series.The World Surf League offers three tiers of competition: the Regional Qualifying Series , Challenger Series , and the elite Championship Tour . There are no Canadians competing in the top tier.
