As usual, a fierce competition among the Japaneses. Nice to see few new names appearing on this event. A girl from  reached till quaterfinals, and  and  are improving a lot in this discipline.

Keep an eye on Cordano, I think he could be the best Canadian in this discipline soon.

 

Terrible performance for Brazil, but it is quite important for Aguilar to sum as much points as possible.

 

A carnificine is about to happen in Japan with all these guys haha. Also, very nice to see new names from  and .

I totally agree, I remember watching him at WST Rome and he blew me away. 
 

From a Canadian perspective, good to see our #2/#3 (Russell and Micky Papa) skaters in the Olympic Ranking both advance to the semifinals. Unfortunate that Ryan Decenzo (#1 Canadian in the Olympic Ranking) couldn’t make it 3/3, but he’s in a good position to qualify regardless. 
 

By the way, I’ve heard lots of people complaining about the results on World Skateboarding’s Instagram page. They all felt as if  Gustavo Ribeiro and  Kelvin Hoefler were robbed of their spots.

If any of you have time, I highly suggest you watch the first men’s semifinal. All the skaters were on fire (mainly throughout the tricks portion)

No back to back WCh finals. Rišo missed the final for 3 points this time

 

Anyway this 10th place bring another very valuable points to the Olympic Qualifiers.

Will be really tough to qualify, but hopefully this time it will really happen ! #InParis24WeTrust I still remember how he lost his quota for Tokyo at the very last race by some points...

Despite missing the final Richard Tury is very satisfied with his performance and very good amount of points to the Olympic Ranking.

 

Also special mention: First time ever our public TV (RTVS) broadcasted Skateboarding live early this morning

I think you don't need to worry about his qualification. There will be few competitions next year, and Tury has already conquered enough amount of points to grab his quota. Especially with this constant amazing performance in the tour.

Horigome is back, and he really needs to sum as much points as possible in this event. I think those are the best japanese skateboarders up this moment, and one of them will miss Olympics.

Yes, it should be fine this time... but due to the experience from the previous Olympics, well, we will still remain in alert if you do not mind until the very end. He also had Tokyo basically during the entire qualification in the bag but somehow finally lost that quota in the very last race by a couple of silly places in the semi-finals
