Barge damages Teahupoo reef during surf judge tower upgrade
A barge used to build the 2024 Olympic surf judging tower at Teahupoo, Tahiti, has damaged the coral reef.
Despite the criticism and the choir of voices that opposed the construction of the controversial judging scaffolding over the past months, the work to replace the old wooden tower has begun.
The International Surfing Association (ISA), the governing body for the sport of surfing and the entity that manages Olympic surfing competitions, has already reacted to the news updates.
