Leading the local charge is 2020 Tokyo Olympic Gold Medalist Logan Martin and former world champion Brandon Loupos.
Standing in their way for the elite men title is the newly crowned world champion from Japan Rimu Nakamura, who also won the Montpellier round earlier in the year and World Cup winner from Brussels in July Anthony JeanJean from France.
The elite women’s competition is expected to be red hot with newly minted World Champion Hannah Roberts as well as Olympic champion English woman Charlotte Worthington in the field of 20.
