Skateboarding really needs a minimum age or something...the Olympics with all it's pressure and the Olympic Village are no place for 10-12 year old kids.

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!

I don’t know, skateboard comps are pretty low-key. I wouldn’t worry about pressure. I  would be sad if the best can’t compete (i.e Chole Kim 2014) because of age

Yeah, and then you're in the Olympic village, which in itself is just not a place for little kids. And at the Olympics. And every single bit of sports media wants your attention. They will have to have some North Korean-like supervision by their federations for their own protection, especially around the village.

It's best having the young in skateboarding. Age limit needs to be 18 years.

That's a bit old for a maximum age I think, but these young kids should be protected. Some of them are barely even teenagers..

Yes, 18 is best for a maximum age but can be 16 or 17, but older people should be protected.

Right, I fell for the joke and reacted serious, sorry :p

I thought that after Fu Mingxia they banned so young athletes. 

Nope, no age limit in skateboarding
