Japan’s Horigome Yuto made Olympic history by winning the first ever gold medal in skateboarding, his victory coming in the skateboarding men’s street final.

The... 22-year-old grew up just a few miles away from the Ariake Urban Sports Park and honed his skills there after being introduced to the sport by his father. He shared the podium with Kelvin Hoefler (BRA) and Jagger Eaton (USA).
