Australia’s two-time world champion surfer Tyler Wright went to drastic lengths during the off-season to put her in the best possible position to win Olympic gold later this year, undergoing a “life-changing” procedure that saw seven screws inserted into her head.
After reaching her first World Surf League quarter-final this year in Portugal, Wright revealed she has suffered from a respiratory issue throughout her surfing career due to narrow airways that have left her struggling for oxygen.
