The tweet was accompanied by a shot of the imposing, glassy waves Teahupo’o is renowned for. The decision to host surfing events there still needs to be approved by the International Olympic Committee. The 2024 Summer Games will be held from 26 July to 11 August — 100 years after Paris last hosted them.
