Talk about a medal-worthy moment.
A photo of Brazilian surfer Gabriel Medina has captivated the internet after the 30-year-old Olympian appeared to defy gravity during the surfing competition Monday at the 2024 Games in Tahiti.
Medina has since shared the image on his own Instagram page, which has amassed more than 2 million likes.
“Felt amazing to get some good waves and I almost got a 10, so I was really happy with that. It’s really a dream come true to compete in waves like this for the Olympics. It was really in my dream and I’m realizing this today and I’m very happy to be a part of this,” Medina told olympics.com.
