"I get to surf every day for two hours so that’s my way of starting the day. Today was 8am to 10am. I surf and then throw me everything, I don’t care," Aguerre tells Around the Rings.

He has plenty of reason to be happy this week, following the IOC announcement on Monday that surfing, breaking, skateboarding, and sport climbing were officially in the sport program for Paris 2024.

"So this is really good, very exciting, and we’re all ready to take surfing to Tahiti," he says.

The world-renowned reef break Teahupo’o is the venue for surfing in 2024. In addition to the sport’s best athletes, the competition will pay homage to the culture and heritage of the sport.

Decision on Belarus World Hockey Championship 'Very Complicated'

(ATR) The International Olympic Committee has taken provisional measures against Alexander Lukashenko and Belarusian NOC executives, banning them from future IOC events and the Olympic Games.

"In view of the allegations and elements received by the IOC and the response received from the NOC of Belarus, the IOC has come to the conclusion that the NOC of Belarus has not appropriately protected the Belaurusian athletes from political discrimination within the NOC, and I stress within the NOC, their member federations or the sports movement," IOC President Thomas Bach told media during a virtual press conference following an IOC Executive Board meeting on Monday.

"This is contrary to the fundamental principles of the Olympic Charter, and therefore seriously affects the reputation of the Olympic Movement," he said.

The IOC launched a formal investigation into the Belarusian NOC on November 25, researching claims by the Belarusian Sports Solidarity Foundation and athletes that Belarusian authorities violated athletes’ rights by detaining and even abusing individuals for expressing their political views and protesting against the government.
