Carissa Moore

Sport: Surfing
Country: USA

Moore has captured four world titles in her decorated career, the most recent coming in December 2019 after a heated three-way race with fellow Americans Caroline Marks and Lakey Peterson. She's heading to the Olympics as the top seed (accompanied by Marks, who's ranked just below her at No. 2 in the world) and coming off of a stellar season; out of 10 competitions, Moore was off the podium just twice and was never below the top five. She'd planned to take 2020 off from the pro tour to prepare for the Olympics, so the season's cancellation didn't affect her plans to a huge degree, and she's using the time to surf and train in her native Honolulu. Surfing is expected to make a big splash at the Olympics and Moore is a favourite with momentum on her side.
