Skateboarding – Street

Skateboarding, a young and spectacular sport, emerged in the United States in the 1950s, becoming part of the alternative underground culture of the 1980s. Its practice, democratized in the early 2000s, has been a great success with young people, embodying the values of freedom, rebellion and adrenaline.

At the Olympic Games, the world’s elite skateboarders compete in two disciplines, Park and Street, where athletes perform spectacular tricks. The Park takes place on a varied terrain with bowls and curves, while the Street reproduces urban elements such as stairs and rails. These events, consisting of two rounds, made their Olympic debut in Tokyo in 2021, and will also be present at the Paris 2024 Games, promising to captivate the public with impressive performances.
