Surfing: Teahupo’o goes huge for men’s Round 3

A highlight that was not a final medal round took place thousands of kilometres away in Tahiti, where the Olympic surfers woke to a massive swell: Teahupo’o had turned on. The men’s Round 3, on Monday June 29, saw massive, powerful barrels roll in, with the world’s best surfers pulling in deep and emerging with hands in the air. It was a day that transcended sport and delivered something genuinely soul-stirring.
