After the “Run” he was provisionally in 4th place, but made a huge comeback with two “Best Trick” runs. In the final run, he scored 97 points, achieving the feat of winning a gold medal following the Tokyo Olympics.

The “first champion” who won the Tokyo Olympics shook off the pressure of winning consecutive championships and achieved his long-cherished dream. Horimai, who passed the preliminaries in 4th place and said, “I want to exceed my limits in the final,” was true to his words, and he went full throttle from the first run. He actively packed in techniques and showed off an artistic run, earning a score of 89.90 points and a great start. Shirai also performed a perfect run from the first run, earning a high score of 90.11 points. #YutoHorigome #Japan #StreetSkateboarding #Paris2024 #ParisOlympics2024 #ParisOlympics #skateboarding #arnSprots #sports #athelete #paris #JaggerEaton #NyjahHuston #SoraShirai #RichardTury #KevinHoefler #CordanoRussell #MatiasDell skateboarding olympics 2024
