That's it Olympic Games 2024 are finally here and the competition is raging! Athletes from all over the world, including Brazilian surfer Gabriel Medina, are competing in various disciplines, and this year surfing is taking place on Tahiti, a splendid island in French Polynesia. The Teahupo'o spot has been chosen for the surfing competitions, due to its worldwide reputation for massive, powerful waves, often considered among the most spectacular and technical in the world.
But the Teahupo'o spot is also notoriously dangerous! Due to the size and strength of the waves, as well as the proximity of the coral reef, the events are likely to be more than a little intense for the Olympic surfers. On Monday, July 29, 2024, a magnificent photo was taken of Brazilian surfer Gabriel Medina during the third day of the events. The photo gives the impression that the surfer is flying above the water, with a big smile on his face and his hand raised to show his joy at the event he had just completed. A breathtaking photo full of life from the Paris 2024 Olympics!
Gabriel Medina is a world-renowned Brazilian surfer. Becoming the first Brazilian to win the World Surfing Championship title in 2014, he also won it in 2018 and 2021. Known for his daring style and spectacular aerial maneuvers, Medina is a key figure in the "Brazilian Storm", a group of Brazilian surfers who dominate the world scene. In addition to his successes in competition, he is extremely popular and influential on social networks! Today, he's among the favorites for the Paris 2024 Olympics, and this photo, already mythical!
