After 14 years of surfing the world’s best waves, South Africa’s Bianca Buitendag will be competing one last time, at Tokyo 2020, before she moves into a new phase of life.
“How do you top making history and being part of the first surfing competition in Olympic history,” she asks, rhetorically. “I’m now 27 and surfing has been my life. It’s been a wonderful journey and has shaped me as a person. I’ve given everything I’ve got to the sport and no regrets. How many people get to travel the world doing what they love?”
Even though the 2020 Games became the 2021 Games, her desire to become part of history when the sport debuts at the Olympics was overwhelming.
