X-Games... That would be my uneducated guess. :d

If I remember correctly, there will be street and park disciplines for both men and women. Because, you know, streets and parks are totally different. :p

X-games, but not only...

 

but the most important thing is that the Olympic "governing body" is the socalled "Tokyo Skateboarding Commission", a joint venture between FIRS (the Roller Skating Federation) and ISF (Intenational Skateboarding Federation)...meanwhile the best athletes in the World are those competing unde the World Skateboarding Federation...:facepalm:

 

p.s. this sport it's only about USA and Brazil (and very few other exceptions...but medallists in Tokyo will come almost surely from those 2 Countries)...

it's a lot worse than Surfing...

 

here a couple of interesting links...

 

the Tokyo Commission:

http://skateboarding2020.com/

 

the ISF site:

http://internationalskateboardingfederation.org/

 

FIRS site:

http://www.rollersports.org/

 

Tokyo 2020 Skateboard page:

https://tokyo2020.jp/en/games/sport/olympic/skateboarding/

 

and, outside the institutional governing bodies, the WSF homepage (rankings in Bowl and Street disciplines show the best specialists in the World, those who should fight for the medals in Tokyo...if they compete there...and that's not so sure):

http://worldskateboardingfederation.org/

p.s. US legend Alex Sorgente is in talk with the Italian NOC to represent Italy in Tokyo, if WSF athletes will choose to go (in this case we would have really big chances to get something out of this mess)...:lol:

I wonder if it's possible for one person to be the best in both street AND park. Surely that's impossible. :bowdown:

 

:p

Like there's no way on earth someone wins more than 1-2 gold medals in swimming :d

if you look at the WSF rankings in the 2 disciplines, those competing in one are not even ranked in the other...

    • Moncler has announced 's clothes for the opening ceremony. They are....well, something, I suppose. For rain coats they look quite nice.   Flag bearers get the white ones, Bruna the dark version with the, I don't know...hat?   https://www.instagram.com/p/DUaIyN1DExb/

    • It’s simply the only skating event where jumps don’t matter, only choreography. And how much you bribe the judges matters too.
