On the heels of her first world title win, surfing super star Caroline Marks stops by TODAY to talk about securing a spot on Team USA at the Paris Olympics — and reveals you may be able to go with them as an announcer!
Nearly 10,000 miles from the middle of the Olympic action in Paris, the 48 best surfers in the world will be dropping into one of the world's most exhilarating and terrifying waves in a bid for gold. The surf break off the coastal village of Teahupo’o in Tahiti, an island in French Polynesia, is the site of the 2024 Olympic surfing competition. Officials will monitor the surf conditions during a 10-day window from July 27 to Aug.
” How does Teahupo’o compare to Japan's Tsurigasaki Beach from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics? Teahupo’o presents a much more difficult challenge than Japan's Tsurigasaki Beach, which was noted for its underwhelming waves and conditions at the inaugural Olympic surfing competition in 2021. “Japan was a beach break and a lot of wind. It was really hard waves to surf. And Tahiti is just an amazing island with a perfect lefthander,' Peruvian surfer Lucca Mesinas told NBC Olympics.
