GOLD MEDAL PHOTOGRAPHY!! Kudos to Getty Images photographer: Jerome Brouillet
"Touched by grace.
I like to say that taking pictures is a bit like surfing. Itâs a mix of preparation, devotion, timing, some experience and a touch of luck.âš.
On July 29, 2024, at 6:23 am, arriving on the spot by boat, we knew it would be a great Olympic surfing day. At 9:30:31 am, Gabriel Medina take off on the best wave of the day for a perfect ride.
At 9:30:38 am, he jumps out of the wave with a celebration that spread immediately all around the world.
10 minutes later, my mobile starts beeping. It still hasnât stopped...âš.
That day, Gabriel was in the water at the right place, at the right time, and so was I. Congratulations @gabrielmedina !
