“A Shining Example”: Sports World Left in Awe As Olympic Gold Medalist Surfer Achieves an Incredible Feat

Surfing made its Olympic debut in Tokyo in 2021. The craze for the adventurous sport finally finally made it a part of the sporting world’s most prestigious tournament. United States’ Carissa Moore won the gold medal at the women’s shortboard event. The then 28-year-old was at an all-time high after winning the Olympic gold. However, 2 years later now, she is once again rejoicing for her Championship Tour win. Her fans and the surfing world at large cannot stop praising her for her achievements.

Carissa Moore recently won her 27th Championship Tour win at the Margaret River Pro in Western Australia. She took to Instagram to express her gratitude and joy at the prospect, and everyone in the sporting community showered her with compliments.

After her Olympics win, Carissa Moore has added yet another feather to her cap

Moore recently took to her Instagram and wrote, “It’s easy to get caught up in the results always chasing and feeling like you need to win to be happy instead of being at peace with what you already have. I was able to find the peace here in West Oz and let go of the pressure and expectation I put on myself”. Her words expressed how humbled and overjoyed she was at winning yet another title.

She further explained how things fell into place for her at the Margaret River Pro, as she was simply in tune with the “purpose of love” and “sharing the joy” of being there. In the most humble manner, she also thanked the event organizers at Margaret River and expressed her gratitude to her sponsors as well. In the picture she posted, Moore was elated.

Moore is from Hawaii, an island traditionally renowned for famous surfing spots and for producing some world-renowned surfers. She beat Tyler Wright from Australia, another surfing-loving island nation. Their scores differed by a margin of 1.93 as Moore was on 11.10 and Wright on 9.17. The Margaret Pro event also turned into a platform for raising questions about the unequal pay of women by Australian surfer Lucy Small in 2021. The event has high importance in the surfing calendar.

Love and support pour in from every corner for Carissa Moore

Here’s how some of her fans, as well as many sporting and non-sporting celebrities, congratulated her:

“You’re a shining example for the youth and an amazing ambassador for Hawaii and surfing worldwide! Thank you, Champ!”, wrote Dennis Earley, a fan of hers, who hailed her as this example to the youth.

“Mindset truly is everything way to go Riss!!!” wrote famous surfer Moana Jones Wong, who just wanted to congratulate her friend and colleague.

“When things flow” with a ‘both hands raised’ emoji alongside. It was written by 9-time world champion bodyboarder Mike Stewart. A true champion finely praised another champion here.

“Congratulations”, wrote Australian surfer Owen Wright. It was his sister Tyler Wright, who lost to Moore in the finals. And yet, he praised Moore as she deserved it.

“I’m sooo happy for you Riss! Congratulations” wrote Australian singer-songwriter Kita Alexander She was clearly jubilant for her friend’s victory.

Carissa Moore posted a series of pictures on her Instagram. In one, she is carried off by fans on their shoulders after her win, and the others have her holding the famous wine barrel trophy. All of the pictures have her smiling. She will look to replicate the same broad smile at the Paris Olympics next year when defending her gold medal.
