The Paris Olympics 2024’s calling is getting stronger with every passing day. With that, athletes from around the world are slowly bringing out their best skills to secure their chances of representing their respective countries. Likewise, the globe’s top surfing stars are also making waves at every possible chance, as the recently concluded World Surfing Games witnessed in Puerto Rico.

The International Surfing Association’s (ISA) event was slated to be a major stepping stone for the Olympic hopefuls and it didn’t disappoint at all. With the seventh day of the event now wrapped, many surfers have already been announced to have punched their tickets to the European metropolitan. The IOC had to take a moment to nod its hat to the winners.

In a recent Instagram post by the official Olympics account, the thrilling conclusions of Day 7 at Arecibo, Puerto Rico have been shared. “It was #Paris2024 tickets galore on day 7 of the 2024 ISA World Surfing Games in Puerto Rico.“, hailed the post as it expressed glee over the titillating action that was on display at the qualifying event. With fourteen individual quotas on the line, the surfers are doing everything they can to qualify for the Paris Olympics 2024, and it has been a well-anticipated nail-biter.

“Congratulations to all the qualified athletes!“, remarked the post as it further reminded what awaits the winners only a few months away. The post then proceeds to showcase the winners of Day 7: Alonso Correa of Peru, Camilla Kemp from Germany, Israel’s Anat Lelior, the Chinese Yang Siqi, and Janire Gonzalez-Etxabbari from Spain.

“We can’t wait to see you shine in Teahupo’o“, booms the celebratory post as it underscores how the iconic Tahitian beach is gearing up at breakneck speeds to host the world’s biggest surfing stars. And it wasn’t just the winners of the day who made the biggest ripples!

In another Instagram post, the Olympics account also highlighted the breathtaking performance of the Brazilian surfer Yago Dora. After staying on the sidelines for most of 2022, Dora made an exhilarating comeback by winning the VIVO Rio Pro in 2023. On the day that Correa & Co. triumphed, Dora once again highlighted his Olympic aspirations with a near-perfect 9.50 points, which is also the highest score of the competition so far.
