“The best day of my life” proclaimed the current World Champ, Marks. “Your whole life goes into a moment like this,” Marks said with a gold medal hanging around her neck. “It’s beyond all my wildest dreams.”

All winners of the Paris Olympics surfing are first-time Olympic medalists: Caroline Marks: Gold, Brazilian Tatiana Weston-Web: Silver, and France’s Johanne Defay: Bronze.

Kauli Vaast: Gold, Australia’s Jack Robinson: Silver and Brazil’s Gabriel Medina: Bronze.
