Australia's Jai Taylor has won the junior title of the Visit Maldives Pro 2024, which is part of the Bodyboarding IBC World Tour, one of the biggest international sporting events held in the Maldives.

The final events of the Visit Maldives Pro, which began on Saturday, were held today and Taylor, who reached the men's junior final, was not a favourite for the final. Although he did not compete in many tour events this year, he won the Australian junior title this year.

Taylor faced off with Chile's Mikelle Arraigada who is currently ranked second, in the final heat, winning the title with a total score of 14 against Arraigada's 6.5.

A total of 86 athletes from 14 countries competed in this year's event, with One Sports being the online media partner of the event.
