One of the most expected evidence for its spectacularity of the World Surf League, the Margaret River Pro, which was to be held this week in the waters of the Australian / Australian coast, has been suspended after in the last few hours several surfers were attacked by sharks... days ago two amateur surfers suffered bites of various consideration on their legs, which caused the alarm, especially in view of the holding of this World League test.

"Sharks are an occasional reality in the world's surf league and surfing competitions in general. However, the current circumstances are very unusual and worrying, as the risk during the Margaret River Pro season has crossed the threshold of the acceptable.", World League Executive Director Sophie Goldschmidt explained in an official statement.

However, the organizers argue that in this case the circumstances are exceptional and have decided to cancel the test "despite the commercial consequences for the local community..." nor, however, surveillance has increased in the area of the competition with water bikes and drone planes, as El País reports.
