Gabriel Medina may have scored a record-making 9.90 during Day 3 of the 2024 Summer Olympics competition, but a photo of the Brazilian surf star is getting 10s across the board.
The picture — taken by photographer Jerome Brouillet from Agence France-Presse on Monday, July 29 — appeared to show Medina floating in mid-air, his hand in the air and his finger pointed to the sky as his surfboard hovered behind him.
It was snapped in Teahupo’o on the French Polynesian Island of Tahiti, where the Paris Games’ surfing competition is taking place. Monday’s event, the third round of competition, cut the field of Olympic champ hopefuls from 16 to eight.
