PHOENIX – In the inaugural Olympic skateboarding competition, Arizona will have two representatives: Jagger Eaton and Alana Smith.
For Eaton, going to the Olympics is in his blood. His grandfather, Stormy Eaton, started Desert Devils Gymnastics in Mesa with the goal of coaching young women at the Olympic level. His father, Geoff Eaton, followed suit. Neither reached that goal.
Arizona is sending its first Olympic gymnasts, Jade Carey and MyKayla Skinner, to Tokyo this year. Neither train at Desert Devils.
However, Eaton, 20, fulfilled the family goal another way when he qualified for the Olympic Street Team in June.
“That was always the main goal for gymnasts … making it to the Olympics and, for me, it was never not on the table,” Eaton said. “The fact that I get the opportunity to do that for the family legacy is pretty special.”
