Brazilian surfer Gabriel Medina expresses his gratitude to God for achieving the highest score in the history of Olympic surfing at Teahupo’o, in French Polynesia, during the 2024 Olympics. After riding a massive wave, his relaxed body aligns perfectly with the surfboard, connected to him by the leash. The sensation that time has frozen, as the athlete appears to float with his feet resting on a carpet of clouds, gives the photo a surreal atmosphere.
