NEW YORK (Reuters) - Olympic champion Carissa Moore hopes Teahupo'o, the infamous Tahitian break where this year's Paris Games will hold its surfing competition, does not live up to its reputation in what is expected to be her final competition.

The 31-year-old American became the first woman to win a gold medal in surfing at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics and in January announced her plans to retire after the 2024 Games.
