Skateboarding debuted at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, which were held in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The U.S. brought home its first Olympic skateboarding medals when Jagger Eaton and Cory Juneau earned bronze medals in street and park, respectively. In addition to Eaton, Nyjah Huston, Bryce Wettstein, and Mariah Duran will return for their second Olympic Games.
In Paris, park skaters will have three runs of 45 seconds each. Winning runs usually feature between five to eight tricks. Runs are judged on five criteria: difficulty and variety of tricks performed, quality of execution, use of the course, flow and consistency, and repetition. The score of the highest run counts. The top eight athletes qualify for the final, which will follow the same format.
For street in the qualifying rounds, skaters will have two runs of 45 seconds each. Winning runs usually feature six to seven tricks. The final round consists of the trick portion. Athletes are allotted five trick attempts for two scores. One run score (100 points maximum) and two trick scores (each worth 100 points) will make up a total score of up to 300 to determine the winner. The top eight athletes qualify for the final, which will follow the same format.
Olympic skateboarding coverage will be live-streamed on Peacock, NBC, CNBC and USA Network. Visit NBC Olympics for the full schedule.
