Three Brazilians in the first four places. This sport is going to be HUGE around here.

Three silver medals in Skateboarding

Of course the last qualifier had to be American.

Of course he had to win a bronze medal.

Of course.

Anyway, congratulations, Pedro Barros and Keegan Palmer!

Well I think Skateboarding just secured it's place in Brisbane 2032 :P

Now, who had the terrible idea to add Golf to the Olympic program in 2016 when we could have had THIS in Brazil?

Had never seen skateboarding before and really liked the Park competition, the best from the new sports IMO.

TBH not having rugby and golf in London was a huge missed opportunity, and not having skateboarding and surfing in Rio was a huge missed opportunity.

I think Brazil didn't have a say about the new sports?

Yes, this is true. But it doesn't make any sense to add golf and rugby to the Rio Olympics, in my opinion. I'd even have accepted break dancing or even e-sports, but definitely not golf.
