It was a long week, but now is done.  Here is the standing by teams.  Team Australia won the gold and you can look for any team you want on this list.  Just notice that Nicaragua stayed in the 20th positition, over Chile, Panama, Barbados Mexico and a few other ones.  This was a great event for Nicaragua, first time ever and we did well.  Comgrats to all the teams and we'll see you next year for the SUP ISA competition in the lake and in the ocean.  We'll keep you updated where this event will take place.  Peace!
