🛹 The BEST of Horigome Yuto at the Olympics 🇯🇵

Yuto Horigome began skating at Tokyo's Amazing Square Murasaki Skatepark when he was seven years old. He learned to skate from his father, who is a former street skateboarder. Japan’s Yuto Horigome has won the inaugural men’s street skateboarding event at the Olympic Games in Tokyo.

The Tokyo 2020 Olympic Summer Games took place in Japan, from July 23, 2021 to August 8, 2021.

Yuto Horigome - From Tokyo to Los Angeles to Skateboarding's first Olympic Gold Medal | ESPN Asia

Skateboarding has a new king, Yuto Horigome, newly crowned Olympic champion, gives a troubled host nation another fine reason to cheer these Olympics. Horigome, 22, clinched Skateboarding's first Olympic gold medal in the humid Japanese summer on Sunday at Tokyo’s Ariake Urban Park.

Horigome almost looks effortless on his runs, after putting in a middling start, he landed four monster tricks—including one he said he had never tried in a competition before.

By winning skateboarding’s first gold, Horigome has the power to lay waste to the notion that skateboarders are a menace to society: a stereotype that persists in many parts of the world. No skateboarding signs are still common across Tokyo. Now, a skateboarder is one of the faces of Japan’s Olympics team.
