While most of the 2024 Olympic events are taking place in Paris, surfing events are being held more than 9,000 miles away from the French capital in Tahiti. Part of French Polynesia, Tahiti boasts some of the world’s most beautiful and dangerous waves. The host village of Teahupo’o is located 15,730km (9,770 miles) from Paris, making the venue the furthest-ever from an Olympic host city.

Instructions unclear: We are stuck in Guarma and our moneh is underwater.
The real dutch's plan
its because there are no pinkertons
Because there are mangoes and they had a plan.
"i have plan all i need is 150,000$ to get to TAHITI"
easy question to answer….the waves in paris are very difficult to ride. not even close to olympic-level quality, so they had to find somewhere else.
Oh, I didn't realize that.
Olympic surfing in Tahiti? That sounds like a plan
This is better than Guarma.
Pena e as sewfesa do onda comum 1:45 de zapp.
So, finally Dutch’s plan has come to fruition. Let’s go Boah !!!
MAINLAND FRANCE doesn;t have enough BIG WAVES for the event. LIKE DUH!!!!!!!

Hey Venezuela is having a storm. Ring a bell?
the most Colonial way olympic i have ever watch
Yes nice.. But if people from western go there… The paradise will be destroyed
Why is surfing in the Olympics!
This is all part of Dutch's Plan, don't worry Arthur!
Just 4 days from 27July to 5August?? WOW
Beautiful Polynesian island!
2:53 "The surfing competition is expected to last FOUR days, from July 27 to August 5th" !!!??? Four days??? Isn't that 9 days instead???
The answer is so simple. Tahiti is part of French Polynesia. I'm not saying it's wrong or right, it just is. Metropolitan France doesn't have big enough waves.
