3rd Place Paris Olympics 2024

“Punching the lip like a prize fighter, Johanne Defay of France won Bronze in Tahiti. 

Using the same formula that got her to the finals, Defay (FRA) destroyed section after section with powerful, near vertical backside whacks. She also found the heat's only real barrel, pulling in to one of the biggest set waves to roll through the lineup all day. Her crisp, top-to-bottom approach was fast, fluid and- ultimately- a medal winner thanks to a 6.83 and 5.83.”
