Top qualifier Vincent Milou showed his prowess once again as he topped the men's quarter-final at skateboarding's WST Dubai Street 2024 event on Friday (8 March).
The Frenchman, who emerged as the top qualifier in the opening round on Wednesday, upgraded his first run score of 73.43 to 85.47 in his second run to secure pole position going into tomorrow's semifinal.
Finishing just behind Milou was a three-strong string of Japanese skaters fronted by Olympic champion Horigome Yuto (83.23) and Onodera Ginwoo (79.39), while newly crowned world champion Shirai Sora went through in 10th place.
The semi-finals, streaming live tomorrow on Olympics.com and on the official Olympics mobile app, will see a shift in format with the best trick section entering play.
After attempting two runs the skaters will then get five attempts to put down a ‘best trick’. The total score will be determined based on the best run score result combined with the best two trick scores.
According to the organisers, the weather conditions are expected to deteriorate overnight, potentially leading to a delay in the start of tomorrow's semifinals.
