Owen Wright channels surfing legend Duke Kahanamoku to make Olympic history - 28-Jul-2021

Owen Wright channels surfing legend Duke Kahanamoku to make Olympic history The dream Owen Wright had of an Olympic medal was the same as another famous Hawaiian 109 years ago — and that inspired him to overcome unimaginable odds, writes Tracey Holmes. 28 July 2021 When Owen Wright and the other first Olympic surfers wrote their names into the history books this past week, they were collectively channelling surfing legend Duke Kahanamoku, a three-time Olympic gold medal swimmer who hoped one day his sport of choice would also be at the Games.
