Breaking News! World Skate Announces That Rio Qualifier Has Been Canceled!
So… yet another snafu in the Olympic skateboarding debacle. Athletes from all over the world have been in Rio getting ready to compete in the first Olympic Park and second Olympic Street Qualifier, and it was just announced moments ago that World Skate has now canceled the event.
A huge letdown for these skaters, to say the least.
A bright light is that the contest goes on with STU heading it up - with great prize money, it will just not be an Olympic Qualifier.
Maybe we’re getting back to skateboarding, for skateboarding's sake!
