From its first competition in California in 1963 to its first appearance at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, skateboarding's popularity has skyrocketed, with millions of participants and fans around the world erupting in cheers with every flip, spin, and grind on ramps, rails, and courses around the globe and at the Olympic Qualifier Series this May and June and at Paris 2024, these athletes and their incredible tricks will be in front of those stunned Olympic fans for the first time.
Unlike the debut of these events at Tokyo 2020, the OQS and the Paris Games will have fans in attendance, who will erupt at the skateboarding park and street courses of La Concorde in Paris. This is all you need to know about four of the newest and toughest Olympic medal events. Skateboarding debuted at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games held in 2021. There are two disciplines park skateboarding and street skateboarding. Each has a men's and a women's event and each awards one set of medals.
Since When has Skateboarding Been an Olympic Sport?
At the 2020 Games, Australia's Keegan Palmer won the gold medal in the men's park event. Japan, the host nation, took home the other three golds Yosozumi Sakura won the women's park test, Horigome Yuto won the men's street test, and Nishiya Momiji won gold in the women's street test. Each of the four events men's park, women's park men's street and women's street will have 22 athletes in Paris, for a total of 88 skateboarding athletes.
These competitions have a preliminary round and a final round, but they differ in the type of obstacles and their format. Park skaters compete on a course of ramps, bumps, and jumps designed to mimic a skate park: it's somewhat like a swimming pool with additional ramps and jumps in the center. These jumps include obstacles such as a quarter pipe, which shaped like a quarter of a round pipe. Athletes use these jumps and ramps to perform high-altitude tricks during their races.
How does the Skateboarding Competition Work in the Olympics?
During the competition, skaters complete two runs in this park, each lasting 45 seconds. During that time, they can perform as many tricks as they want. In winning runs, skaters typically perform a total of five to eight tricks during that time. According to the rules of World Skate, the international governing body of skateboarding, these races must judged based on these five criteria difficulty and variety of tricks performed it's not enough to consider the number of tricks a skater performs, but rather the difficulty of those tricks and how different they are from one another.
Quality of execution this criterion judges how well the skaters execute their tricks. Performing the trick important, but the rules also state that the speed at which the skaters travel, the height at which they fly, and the fluidity of their movements must taken into account. Course utilization Skaters must make use of as much of the course as possible, performing tricks on various obstacles throughout their race. Fluidity and consistency. This criterion judges how the 45 second race works as a whole rather than judging individual tricks.
How do Skateboarding Athletes Qualify for the Olympics?
Repetition If athletes repeat the same trick multiple times or if their tricks are too similar to each other they will given a lower score. After each 45-second run, a panel of judges scores each skater based on these criteria, awarding them a score from 0 to 100. Of the two runs each skater performs in each round, only the highest scoring run considered. An additional challenge skaters face is the park's course the specific layout of the venue changes for each event and is not revealed to the athletes until shortly before the competition.
Therefore, skaters cannot prepare in advance the order in which they will perform their tricks. Street skateboarding competitions take place on a different course than a skateboard park. In the street competition, the course is flatter and features railings and steps that mimic the urban origins of skateboarding. Street competitions also differ from park competitions in that they consist of two phases one phase in which athletes perform timed races, as in park competitions, but there is also an individual trick phase, in which skaters try to perform an incredible trick on each of their five attempts.
Conclusion
The race phase, skaters perform two 45-second runs. This format is similar to park athletes are judged according to the same criteria and awarded a score from 0 to 100. The highest-scoring run counts toward the skater's total score. During these runs, skaters typically perform six to seven tricks. On his way to a silver medal in Tokyo, for example, Brazilian skater Some of the scoring rules for street skateboarding have changed for Paris 2024. At Tokyo 2020, tricks and runs were scored out of 10, not 100, and they could score four times, not three.
The four scores came from their four best performances, rather than one score for the run and the rest for tricks, so an athlete could accumulate all of their points during the individual trick portion of the competition. In fact, Horigome, the men's gold medalist, did just that. In Paris and the Olympic Qualifier Series, an athlete's total score will be calculated by adding the score for one run and two individual tricks. Another new scoring rule concerns score denial. Under this rule, skaters can erase a trick's score during the individual trick phase to try to improve it.
