New Zealand’s surfing duo for the Paris Olympics has been announced as Billy Stairmand and Saffi Vette.
Billy, aged 34, will mark his second Olympic appearance after his debut in Tokyo three years ago, coinciding with surfing’s inaugural inclusion in the Games. His remarkable record includes eight national championship titles in New Zealand.
“It’s unbelievable to be going to my second Olympics, I’m super proud,” he said. The Olympic surfing competition will take place over four days from July 27 to August 4. The legendary surfing spot Teahupo’o in Tahiti has been selected as the venue.
