It is quite surprising they're not using helmets here by the way. Quite surprising for the untrained eye, that is.

Helmets are required for U18 skaters, and optional for others.

Too bad. If this remains Olympic, it wouldn't be surprising (or wrong) if that gets changed, like in snowboarding or freestyle skiing.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

No, it's just an "interesting" way of introducing an athlete, let's go with that. :p

Oh well, that's simply important nowadays :p

 

I'm starting to try and look down less on those things, especially since literally every 'generation' looks down and ridicules the things of the younger 'generation' and will continue to do so. The TikTok generation of today will look with just as much ridicule to the things that the children born today will find interesting and fun when they're 15-20 :p 

 

Spoiler

Although I'm still having a hard time taking TikTok serious, it might also be because of the name which just sounds so silly.
