Perhaps the most beautiful moment of the 2024 Olympics occurred at the Surfing tournament, which is being held thousands of kilometers away from Paris — on the island of Tahiti, specifically at the legendary surfing beach Teahupo'o.
Brazilian Gabriel Medina showed the best result in the history of the Olympics in the group stage, scoring 9.90 points out of a possible 10, and advanced to the quarterfinals.
After completing his performance, Medina soared impressively into the air, and the brilliant photographer of AFP agency, Jérôme Brouillet, took a fantastic photo.
The Surfing tournament at the Olympics is being held for only the second time, this sport debuted only at the Tokyo 2020 Games. The first Olympic champion was Brazilian Italo Ferreira, who is not participating in Paris.
