Organizer of '24 Olympics Seeks Way to Keep Surfing in Tahiti

This NASA satellite photo shows the southern part of the French Polynesian island of Tahiti, with the Olympic venue Teahupo'o at center on the southern coast. It was chosen as the surfing venue for next year's Paris Olympics because it is so fearsome.

The Paris 2024 organizing committee president said Thursday that he still wanted the surfing competition at next year's Olympics to take place in Tahiti, despite the controversy surrounding the construction of the judging tower at the site, where coral has been damaged.
