Back-to-back reigning world champion Filipe Toledo on Teahupo’o, surfing’s 2024 Olympic venue, saying: "You either ride the greatest wave of your life or take the worst fall. You have to be prepared for both scenarios."

🇫🇷French superstar Leon Marchand had a busy day.

In BOTH of the finals that he swam in, he:

1. Won gold
2. Dethroned the reigning Olympic champion
3. Broke the Olympic record

And to do it all in front of a home crowd. Amazing.
