  1. That guy concentrated all of Teahupoo’s Mana inside his body, and is getting ready for a fusion with his opponent. Perhaps a Kamehameha. Suspense

  2. Surfing at the 2020 Olympics: oh, that’s cool

    Surfing at the 2024 Olympics: HOLY CRAP THIS ROCKS

  3. Thought this was a photo of someone that arrived through a space portal for a second. Is this guy tethered to his home dimension? Oh, it’s a surf board.

  4. He was such a badass. My husband and I were cheering so much in our living room that our toddler joined in without even knowing what was going on

  5. Most people are less graceful just standing on ground posing like that. God damn!

    **Brazil’s Gabriel Medina** has advanced to the quarter-finals of Men’s Surfing. The 3x World Champion surfed his heat with complete commitment, ending the Olympic dreams of defending silver medalist, **Kanoa Igarashi of Japan.**

    This was the highest single wave score of the competition to date. With Medina signaling to the judges ‘That was a 10!’. While some agreed, some did not, awarding him a 9.90.

    He later backed it up with a 7.50. His total heat score of 17.40 was more than enough to beat Igarashi’s (JPN) two-wave result of 7.04.

  8. This is it. The most epic photo of the Olympics. Doubt anyone can top that
