Olympic Surfing 2024 : Caroline Marks and Kauli Vaast Win Gold Medal
mardi 6 août 2024 – Redaction SSS [Source RP]
Caroline Marks (USA) and Kauli Vaast (FRA), two 22-year-olds born just twelve days apart, won Surfing’s second Olympic Gold Medals on a historic day at Teahupo’o, French Polynesia’s idyllic location for Surfing in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. It was always going to be an incredible Finals Day, and Tahiti delivered once again, with tension building throughout the day, punctuated by a fresh swell that rose heat-by-heat.
Caroline Marks (USA) : “It’s really hard to put into words what this feeling is like. I feel like it hasn’t really hit me yet. I’m just really happy and trying to soak everything in because it’s probably the best day of my life.”
“I wasn’t quite sure of the exact score that Tati needed. I was just trying to focus on paddling back out and trying to get another score. Nothing came and they were taking a minute to process the score. I was just looking at everyone like, ‘What happened ? What happened ?’ We both didn’t quite know what each other needed. Once they announced she didn’t get enough I burst into tears, just super emotional. Your whole life goes into a moment like this so it’s just really special.”
Kauli Vaast (FRA) : “It’s a dream come true. I can’t believe it right now. I just made history. For me, for all Tahitians, for surfing in Polynesia and France. I couldn’t be more proud to represent Tahiti and France at home. I’m just super happy. It was a long day, two heats, crazy Final. I had the mana the whole time. Super, super stoked.”
