He is from Lebanon actually. The name sounds more Lebanese.

As per this

 

Weird, because I checked his profile in this website, and shows Liberia

 

But, this other website says Lebanon

 

As I said, there are a lot of mistakes in WS Ranking. They used a wrong country code for this athlete.

 

I'll fix that in ranking that I've already made, thank you.

@phelps and @Laraja I meant to ask earlier but forgot, but do skaters qualify a quota by name or for their NOC. Put simply, if skater qualifies, does that skater have to go, or could NOC choose someone else?

The quota is by name.

 

All skaters have to participate at least in one qualifying event and be listed by name in World Skateboarding Ranking

Is Shaun White going to try to qualify in Street or Park?

I’d imagine Park. He’s had success as a Vert skater, but that discipline wasn’t added to the games (a good decision I might add). Park would have the most transferable skills from halfpipe and Vert, so that’d be the logical choice.

He still didn't compete in any ranking event, did he? I don't see him qualifying.

Two words: World Championships.

About a month ago he said he will be in the world championships

I hope some biased judges don't gift him a world medal and the consequential Olympic ticket...

Do you assume he wont be able to get to top 3 on his own?
