'I've got nothing to lose.' Watch out for Caroline_Marks3 in Tokyo. 🏄♀️
No One Had a Better Reaction to Qualifying For Tokyo Than Texas Long Jumper Tara Davis
But even before qualifying, even before climbing almost to the top of the leaderboard, Marks's year had been a success by any standards. She won her very first CT event, which was also the first contest in which the WSL paid out equal prize money to both men and women."It was just crazy to be the one to win it. It was a really special moment for me and my family and the sport of surfing.
It was also the first CT contest that her entire family — both parents, plus five siblings — had witnessed in person. When she joined them on the beach after the win,"I just started bawling," she remembered. Marks grew up surfing with her brothers in Florida, where the intersibling rivalries would get so intense that Marks would come in crying if she lost a heat to them."My brothers and I are so competitive, it's unbelievable," she said.
It fed into a natural drive to be the best, an intensity that's palpable when you talk to her."I'm addicted to competing and that winning feeling," Marks said."I want to impress my brothers, I want to impress my dad. I want to make everyone proud. It's just something I've always had."
