Really wish Sablone had medalled, but some really great skating.
Kind of an upset. Aori and Pamela Rosa no where near podium. Nishiya looked solid.
Two Golds for Japan, now American knows how the U.K feels about every sport they invented too and never win! Haha.
Friend in NYC skates with a girl there that is representing the U.K (Bombette Martin?) and messaged me earlier. Said she is just flying out of NYC tonight for the park comp, that can’t be right, right? Seems super late in the day?

Really? I thought it’d all to close together for some reason? Like ‘get that one done, move on to track and field, past the velodrome and to the dancing horse…’ keep it all grouped together but I guess some of the street skaters are taking part in the park comp too, ah, so they can rest up.

Yeah that was awesome. That last climb looked absolutely savage. Don’t think I could walk up it.
Pidcock really is a phenomenon. I remember seeing him as a tiny child beating grown men in the Sheffield crit B race years ago.
What? I love Mullen as much as the next guy, the whispering savant that he is, but throwing a 54 year old and his chalky knees off any of those rails would basically be manslaughter

An old mate of mine, who probably hasn’t skated for 10 years, was texting me yesterday saying how great it was to see skateboarding in the Olympics and couldn’t believe the standard of tricks being done now, in a contest settin
