The international governing body for skateboarding, World Skate, has announced that the 2024 Olympic Games will launch in Paris, France.
Skateboarding will remain mainstream once again and will be in the Olympics following its debut in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Skateboarding has been a popular and influential sport for decades, with a strong global following and a rich history of creativity, innovation, and expression.
Its inclusion in the Olympics has been long-awaited and highly anticipated. The new generation of skateboarders and fans is eager to see how skating will showcase on such a grand stage.
The inclusion of skateboarding in the Olympics is a significant milestone for the sport and reflects its growing popularity and mainstream acceptance.
It also provides a platform for the sport to reach new audiences and inspire a new generation of skateboarders.
As with any significant event, there are concerns about how the Olympic skateboarding events will be organized and judged. Some worry that the focus on competition and medals may detract from the spirit of skateboarding, which is often more about personal expression and creativity than winning.
However, World Skate has emphasized that the Olympic skateboarding events will be designed with the needs and interests of skateboarders in mind.
Experienced skateboarders will design the courses, and the judging will be based on technical difficulty, style, and creativity.
