Medina's Iconic Olympic Surfing Performance

News summary

The 2024 Paris Olympics have produced several viral moments, notably a photograph of Brazilian surfer Gabriel Medina appearing to levitate above the ocean. Captured by Agence France-Presse photographer Jérôme Brouillet in Tahiti, the image shows Medina in mid-air, pointing skyward with his surfboard mirroring his stance. This shot followed Medina's record-setting 9.90 single-wave score, the highest in Olympic history. The surfing event, held nearly 10,000 miles from Paris in French Polynesia, has added a unique flair to the Games. Meanwhile, French diver Jules Bouyer also gained social media attention for his revealing swimsuit snaps. The U.S. men's gymnastics team secured a bronze medal, and the U.S. women's team is set to compete for gold, with Simone Biles participating despite a calf injury.
