Skateboarding
California natives Tate Carew and Gavin Bottger are gunning for podium spots in men’s park. The 19- and 17-year-olds entered Paris ranked 1st and 3rd in the world. Carew won May’s Olympic Qualifier Series event, while last October, Bottger claimed his first career men’s park world championship.
Other contenders include defending Olympic gold medalist Keegan Palmer of Australia, who finished second and first in both Olympic Qualifier Series events; his teammate Kieran Woolley; and a Brazilian trio of Augusto Akio, Luigi Cini and Tokyo silver medalist Pedro Barros.
Tom Schaar, the third American in park — and elder at age 24 — is another. He made the team’s cut over Paris street silver medalist Jagger Eaton thanks to a second-place finish in the final Olympic Qualifier Series in June.
