Didn’t the IOC threaten to ban a team who wanted to wear shorts? Just wear whatever it is that makes you comfortable.
The skateboarding I felt wasn’t a great showing on the world stage for it in 2021. Street skating was never that big in the late 90’s/early 00’s days as visually very skating is a lot more exciting, in more recent years with purpose built courses and the likes of SLS it’s really helped, but when you spend the whole event fawning over someone who finishes second to last, not a good look.
I feel the SLS style of 2 runs, 5 best tricks just leads to a lot more 4 best tricks being the win. Nyjah made a mistake by not at least landing a half decent second trick and going full blitz from trick 2.
They should make it 3 runs, 5 tricks. Best run is always taken then your 3 best scores from the other 7 scores.
