Paris Olympics

Go team USA! Carissa Moore won the first gold medal in women's surfing. Considering it is also the Olympics first surf competition, it's a pretty big achievement. Originally from hawaii, she stated, “It’s a dream come true,” she said. “Winning a Gold Medal for Hawaii, the birthplace of surfing means everything. Just to see Duke Kahanamoku’s dream of having surfing in the Olympics come true 101 years later is just so special.” Surfing is so fun to both watch and participate in, so it's awesome that they now are included in the Olympics!
