[BE:FIRST]Experienced skateboarder SHUNTO will appear as a guest at X Games CHIBA2023

#SHUNTO from #BEFIRST (BE:FIRTS) will appear as a live guest of “#X Games CHIBA2023” which will be held from May 12th. Mr. SHUNTO, who has been skateboarding since high school, said, “I want to fully enjoy competitions that can only be experienced at venues, such as Skateboard Street and BMX.” X Games (#XGames) Started in the United States in 1995, “XGames” has so far distributed video to 500 million households in 192 countries around the world, and has attracted more than 6 million visitors in 13 countries around the world. The world’s largest action sports international competition. The stage of “XGames” is the highest honor for #skateboarding, #BMX and #MotoX in the summer and skiing and snowboarding athletes in the winter. Participation in this competition is an invitational system, and it is a competition in which only selected people can participate, including not only the skills of athletes but also their lifestyles. ■Highlights 1: Skateboarding/Street for Men and Women This is the most popular “street” event in skateboarding, requiring fine technique. In last year’s tournament, #Yuto Horigome, #Daiki Ikeda, and #Sora Shirai dominated the gold, silver, and bronze medals in the men’s competition, and #Kenya Nakayama won the silver medal in the women’s event. This year’s tournament will feature Tokyo Olympic gold medalist “#Nishiya” who missed the tournament due to poor physical condition just before last year, and “#Onodera” who won the bronze medal at this year’s world championship in November last year when he was only 12 years old. Expectations are also rising for the success of Ginun. (2) Skateboarding/Men’s Park A “park” event featuring speed and dynamic tricks. Last year, Sakura Yosozumi, Kaishinna, and Mami Tezuka dominated the gold, silver, and bronze medals for women. In addition, Yuji Nagahara ranked 4th in the men’s competition, the highest ever for a Japanese. In addition to the women’s medal rush this year, we are also paying attention to whether the men will win their first medal. ③ BMX Freestyle Park A BMX freestyle park featuring high tricks jumping out of the section and acrobatic tricks such as up to 4 rotations. Attention is Rinmu Nakamura, who won the world championship for the first time as a Japanese last year. Although he was expected to win a medal at the Tokyo Olympics, he finished 5th and is 21 years old and vows to get revenge at next year’s Paris Olympics. She also aims to become the first Japanese to win a gold medal at the X Games, surpassing her own silver medal. ■Competition Schedule *SKB = Skateboard May 12 (Friday) 1st Day SKB Women’s Street Qualifying / SKB Men’s Park Qualifying / BMX Park Qualifying May 13 (Sat) 2nd Day SKB Women’s Street Final / SKB Women’s Park Final / SKB Vert Final SKB Men’s Street Qualifying / BMX Park Final / BMX Street Final / BMX Park Best Trick May 14 (Sun) Final Day SKB Men’s Street Final / SKB Men’s Park Final / BMX Flatland SKB Vert Best Trick / MotoX Best Trick[ Tournament Venue]ZOZO Marine Stadium (Chiba) ■Broadcast/delivery date and time *Broadcast content is subject to change due to weather and other factors.
