TEAHUPO'O, Tahiti (Reuters) - The final day of Olympic surfing was set to get underway later on Monday at Tahiti's Teahupo'o, with waves forecast to build as Brazil's Gabriel Medina and American Caroline Marks look to claim surfing's rarest prize.

After three days of great conditions last week, organisers were only able to run one more day of competition since due to small swells and bad winds, leaving a nail-biting wait for better waves to arrive for the last possible day of competition on Monday.
