Two medals for Canada at X-Games California 2023!

 

10-year-old Reese Nelson wins silver in women's vert, and Ryan DeCenzo wins bronze in men's street! Too bad vert isn't an Olympic discipline.

Cordano Russell, Ryan Decenzo, and Matt Berger all through to the semifinals at WST Dubai! Should give them all a nice boost towards their Olympic Ranking.

6th, 7th, and 12th for Ryan Decenzo, Matt Berger, and Cordano Russell at WST Dubai!

 

In terms of Olympic qualifying, while this was a nice boost towards their totals, the points for the Olympic Qualifier Series are valued way more than the World Skateboarding Tour. Essentially, that means that no Canadian quota is even close to being safe.

They are all still comfortably in the top 20. If it stays this way after the last Olympic qualifier can all three qualify for Paris?

Yeah, with the results in Shanghai, I’d say it’s pretty likely that we’ll get three quotas in men’s street. 
 

Fay Ebert is in a good position to qualify in women’s park as well.
