Olympic Gold Japan Skateboard
Olympic Gold Japan Skateboard Japan Gold on the Skateboards Japanese skaters have been dominating so far in Skateboarding’s first ever year in the Olympics. Japanese skaters won three of the six medals in Skateboarding’s Olympic premier, with Yuto Horigome, 22, and Momiji Nishiya, just 13, both taking Gold in the street competition. The Podium in the Women’s event was two skaters aged 13 and one aged 16 making it the youngest podium in history.

Ganbate Nippon! If the softer landings […]
