Come see the run that led to the most gnarly photo in Olympics history 🤙

Bro, this has got to be one of the raddest Olympics photos of all time.

ENHANCE:

Taken in Tahiti, where the surfing portion of the games is taking place, the image of Brazilian surfer Gabriel Medina immediately went viral.

[Medina] had expertly dropped into a barrel and emerged on the other side not just with aplomb, but with all his fingers raised in a signal to judges to award him a perfect 10. Some did just that, and Medina came away with a score of 9.90 that marked a new Olympic record for a single wave run …
[T]he record-setting ride propelled him to an overall score for his outing of 17.40, which was more than enough to top Japan's Kanoa Igarashi, a silver medalist at teh 2021 Tokyo Olympics. The third-round result moved Medina into a quarterfinal showdown Tuesday against countryman Joao Chianca.
