Brazilian · Rio de Janeiro, Brazil · Born 9 May 1996Brazilian professional surfer who won Olympic silver medal in 2020 and competes regularly on the WSL Championship Tour with multiple event victories.
Tatiana Weston-Webb competes for Brazil, the country of her mother's birth, despite growing up surfing the North Shore of Oahu after her family moved to Hawaii when she was eight -- a competitive allegiance shaped more by heritage than by where she actually learned to surf. That split background shows up in her surfing itself: technical precision that reflects competitive Hawaiian surfing's demanding standards, combined with a public identity built around representing Brazil's growing surf program on the world stage. Her Olympic silver at the Tokyo Games came surfing for a country she'd spent relatively little of her actual developmental years living in, a detail that complicates the usual assumption that an athlete's competitive nationality maps neatly onto where they grew up. Weston-Webb has spent her career as a fixture near the top of the Championship Tour rather than a single breakout story, building a body of results season after season rather than around one signature result.
