Dropping In PO24-29
I was wondering how Paris would be able to stage a surfing event for these Summer Olympics. I don't know why I didn't think of Tahiti. Despite being literally on the other side of the world, it was the perfect place to host the surfing events. During Monday's qualifying rounds Gabriel Medina (Brazil) had a near perfect ride going so far as to come out of the curl of the wave holding up ten fingers in an appeal for a perfect score of 10. He didn't get it. But it was roughly a 9.7, not too bad. Unfortunately for the Brazilian, the points won't carry over to his bid for a Gold Medal.
