Teahupoo is one of the mortal waves in the world, and at the Olympics lots of amateur surfers will compete.
Will someone be badly injurIed? By that I mean deep coral cuts, head injurie with brain effects, drowning etc.

Looks like there were a couple of injuries:

Australian surfer Jack Robinson cut his foot during a practice session at the Olympic surfing venue of Teahupo'o in Tahiti requiring five stitches
[...]
"Jack had five stitches yesterday (Wednesday) and will be fine to surf"

Johanne Defay of France needed four stiches for a head wound Saturday
[...]
"They made me go through the concussion protocols and the results were so-so, so they made me go through them all again this morning. … There’s no trauma, so we’re happy."
I think that neither of these qualify as "badly injured" based on the description. @GZ what do you think, should this resolve NO?
@DavidChee many Olympic athletes are amateurs in the sense of not being professional (paid). They are generally pretty skilled though... but not always!
@DavidChee Olympic games have quotas per countrie and surfing is really polarized on US, Brazil and Australia - Japan, France, Portugal and SA have good competitors too. But probably other countries will have surfers without intimacy with waves that powerful.
