EXPLAINED: Aussie surfers make strong start at world games | Rare Historical Photos

Australia's surfers have made a winning start to the International Surfing Association World Surfing Games in Puerto Rico where they are looking to secure another two spots for the Paris Olympics.

The Irukandjis, as the Australian team are known, headed to the Caribbean island after Jack Robinson and Molly Picklum won the titles at the World Surf League event at Hawaii's Sunset Beach.

Other team members include Tyler Wright and Ethan Ewing, who have already qualified for the Olympics via their 2023 world rankings, Sally Fitzgibbons, who competed at the Tokyo Games and Morgan Cibilic, who was a surprise selection in the men's division.
