Two-time world champion Tyler Wright will head Australia’s challenge for surfing gold at this year’s Olympics after she was named as part of a four-strong Irukandjis team. The 30-year-old will hope to emulate her brother Owen who won Australia’s first Olympic surfing medal in Tokyo three years ago. Wright will be joined in Tahiti, which will host the event — Paris not being blessed with surfing venues, by Molly Picklum, Jack Robinson and Ethan Ewing. All four will be making their Olympic debut.
“More than likely I’m going to be scared, but it’s being honest with that and sticking to what’s important for me in that opportunity, that’s all I can ask for myself.” Robinson has seven CT event wins, including at the Olympic venue Teahupo’o last year, while Ewing is a two-time CT event winner, finishing last year’s WSL in second overall. “When I got selected it was a dream. Representing the Irukandjis, just really proud to represent your country,” Robinson said.
