French Olympic surfer Fierro rides the waves to victory in Tahiti


Teahupo’o (France) (AFP) – Vahine Fierro becomes the first French surfer to win the women’s Tahiti Pro on the waves of Teahupo’o on 29 May, two months before the Olympics surfing events are held at the French Pacific island. Fierro, 24, was born on the neighbouring island of Huahine and, with this success, marked herself down as one of the favourites for Olympic gold.
