And what a great way to kick off the games for Japan with Horigome Yuto winning Gold in the first ever skateboarding event at an Olympic Games. Go Japan.
The first skateboarding event at an Olympic Games is won by the hosts!
Horigome absolutely nails four of his five tricks, all scoring in the 9s, and those will be his four best scores. A total of 37.18 points.
