Shares
Two Japanese skaters became the first-ever Olympic gold medalists for skateboarding during the sport’s debut at the Ariake Urban Sports Park in the Tokyo Games over the weekend.
First skateboarding men’s street gold: Yuto Horigome, 22, won his historic medal over silver medalist Kelvin Hoefler (Brazil) and bronze winner Jagger Eaton (U.S.), reported ESPN.
Each skater had a pair of 45-second runs going through an obstacle course of rails, benches and ramps during the event.
Horigome, the only finalist to score nines in all of the counted tricks, secured the win by consistently landing his tricks down a 12-step, three-rail staircase.
