Paris Olympics 2024, Women's Skateboarding: Drop It

Watching Arisa Trew (Australia) was just awesome!  And that is a word I use as sparingly as it should be.  Her tricks were stunning, and her fluidity was seamless. Wow!  Clearly, she was the gold medalist even before the remaining skaters had their turn.  None were able to outscore her final run.  So, an Olympic Gold Medal it is!

Paris Olympics 2024, Men's Street Skateboarding: Backside

I'm sorry, but the title was just too tempting.  While I don't know the exact name of the trick that won the Silver Medal for Jagger Eaton (USA), I do know that 'backside' is part of its name.  And of course, we are looking at this skater's backside.  It is a bit of a relief that I can still paint a sport that I know so little about.  Way, way back in the 70s I did some skateboarding and wasn't very good.  Admittedly, as in most sports, the equipment is so much better now.  On the other hand, that is about the time I discovered the joy of cycling and all other sports fell away.

Paris Olympics 2024, Men's Street Skateboarding: Taking a Risk

Nyjah Huston (USA) put together a great 45 seconds run of tricks that put him into the medal competition.  With five attempts to hit a best trick he felt sure it was worth the risk on this one.  I'm sorry I am not up on the skateboarding lingo, so I can't tell you the name of the trick that won him the Bronze Medal.
