Open Qualifier took place today for women, with 28 girls advancing to quaterfinals.

 

I got surprise when I didn't see neither Misugu Okamoto , Brighton Zeuner  and Lizzie Armanto  on the start list. This discipline stayed in a "Stand-by" situation since Tokyo. The first event should have happened in Brazil, last year. For some problems between World Skate and Brazilian Federation, both events were postponed.

 

So, because of it, I don't have info about their absence. I think that Armanto retired, she is 30, so that's my guess. Brighton will compete in a Red Bull event in Miami during the championship. Why? No idea. Misugu is the only that I really don't have any idea why she is not participating.

 

Coming back to the girls on the event, it's clear the dominance of  and . Brazil qualified 5 girls, Australia 2, USA 9 and Japan 4, it means twenty athletes from only 4 countries.  and  also have one and two girls who received bye for this phase, improving the number to 23 among 32.

 

Also, because of this gap of competitions, there are a plenty of new names, among all countries. Highlights to  and especially  which took a incredible third position with Naia Laso

The women's park finals will have three athletes from and two from . I'd like to hope the men's final will be a bit more diverse, but the semis only have in a sea of

I am very disappointed about Brazilian performance on women's side. I was expecting an evolution from our girls, but looks we will have to wait a little bit more. This was the only event that we didn't win a medal in Tokyo.

 

Also, Australia could have achieved more from this tournament.

 

As for the men's side, I just missed  Zion Wright, an Olympic skateboarder, and Luiz Francisco  who went undersurgery and couldnt compete.

 

The rest of the best were there. Clearly, USA, Brazil and Australia are dominating this event and discipline. , for some reason, doesn't have good athletes on the men's competition.

 

I'd like to highlight the improvement from some athletes out of these big three. Glifberg  is still in contender, I wouldnt bet in him to keep fighting for an Olympic spot.  has also improved his participation with Nilsen.

 

 has a good team too.  and have their representant as well.

Eaton got a 93.00 is a joke. A pity, because Akio had an incredible championship. Anyway, we are used to being robbed.

 

Still silver and bronze is a great result.
