phelps 6,925 Posted September 14, 2019 #25 Share Posted September 14, 2019 lucky escape for Shaun White and especially for the X-Games champion Ivan Federico (who must say thank you to the missing seeded athlete -who I don't know yet who is he- for his ticket to the semis, as he came only 17th in the quarterfinal round)...

There are the best in the sport though. Skateboarding isn’t like a lot of established sports. The community is very different. The same goes for other sports nowadays too. I would never stop athletes from competing simply because of their age. Also, it’s not pedophilia to let these athletes compete. If anything Skateboarding has had much less problems with that than Figure Skating, Bobsled, Gymnastics, Speed Skating, etc. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

If anything Skateboarding has had much less problems with that than Figure Skating, Bobsled, Gymnastics, Speed Skating, etc. probably I'm heavily influenced by the Italian culture, but I do really think that all things have their own time to be done... 11 year old boys shouldn't be competing against adults... actually, they shouldn't live their activity as a professional one (in terms of dedication and time spent on the board)... meanwhile Shaun White, as expected, is being generously pushed by judges...

Women’s Gymnastics and Figure Skating would no longer exist if that first point was true. Yeah, Shaun White is a good skater, but he’s not that good. I swear if he makes the final. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
