An iconic photo from the Olympics has been crowned the winner at the World Sports Photography Awards 2025. Jerome Brouillet scooped top prize by capturing Brazilian surfer Gabriel Medina suspended in mid-air during the surfing competition at the Paris Olympics in Tahiti. From a boat by the side of the wave in Tahiti, Brouillet captured Medina suspended in mid-air, as if stood on solid ground, as his board mimicked his stance. The selected photos were among those that won gold, silver, bronze and special merits across all 24 categories of the awards
