Surfing: Iconic photo and historic score by Brazilian Gabriel Medina

Teahupo'o, Tahiti, the venue for surfing events, was the scene of a photo that will go down in the history of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Gabriel Medina floats after a trick and seems to fly over the water, with the board still attached to his left ankle and parallel to his body, after scoring a historic 9.90, the highest score in Olympic history on a single wave. The Brazilian qualified for the quarter-finals.
