CAMERAS CAUGHT ANIMAL RISING OUT OF THE WATER NEAR THE SEMI-FINAL EVENT An unlikely competitor joined the surfing contest at the Olympic Games yesterday - a whale. The animal was picked up
by cameras rising from the water during the semi-final of the women’s surfing competition that was taking place nearby. It was far enough away from surfers not to cause disruption but close
enough for the footage to be captured. You can see a video of the whale below: > Une spectatrice est rentrée sans payer son ticket à Teahupo'o 🐋 > > Le meilleur de #Paris2024,

on the island of Tahiti, French Polynesia, in Teahupo'o. Frenchman Kauli Vaast, born on the island, won gold in the men’s competition. Johanne Defay won bronze for France in the
women’s event. Read more: PHOTO: Drivers get fun Olympic themed motorway message
