As I said before, I´m old enough to remember when skateboarding was a public nuisance. These days, the kids who would make Grand Central station unsafe (at any speed) actually compete in the olympic games?! OK, it must be other kids, but you get my point...
The clips above are about Sky Brown, a British-Japanese skateboarder competing for the United Kingdom. She is 13 years old and won the bronze in park skateboard (whatever that is exactly). I couldn´t find any good clips of the silver medalist, Kokona Hiraki from Japan. She´s only 12...
Let me guess. Skateboarding is the only olympic sport in which kids are allowed to compete against adults?
*What* adults, btw? I think the oldest finalist was 23!
