Gabriel Medina’s anti-gravity pose during the 2024 Olympics summer games, captured on film in Tahiti, French Polynesia, in the South Pacific Ocean, where the surfing competition is taking place, ten thousand miles away from Paris. Probably the most striking image of this summer's Olympics.
The Brazilian surfer's index finger is raised, in a "Number One" gesture, as he hovers in midair. Just a moment prior, before dismounting from his surf board, he had raised all his ten fingers, in a signal to judges to award him a perfect 10. Some did just that, and Medina came away with a score of 9.90 that marked a new Olympic record for a single wave run. Surely an iconic moment that will be remembered for decades to come.
