The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has praised Brazilian surfer Gabriel Medina’s photograph for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
“Gabriel Medina and Mother Nature have come together to create ‘Olympic photography.’ The three-time world champion has been called many things, and after seeing him soar through the skies today, the next name added to that list was Superman,” he wrote.
In this photo, a surfer is floating in the air with his arm raised. Medina is still performing in the Olympics, having already advanced to the quarter finals.
The Olympic Games began on July 26, with competitions lasting until August 11. The opening ceremony took place on the Seine River on the 26th. Russian athletes, who are participating in the Summer Olympics as neutrals, did not attend the ceremony.
Having suspended Russia and Belarus in February 2022 due to the start of the SVO at the end of 2023, the International Olympic Committee decided to accept Russians and Belarusians as neutral athletes for the 2024 Olympic Games. To participate, they had to fulfill a number of conditions and qualify.
