Yuto Horigome - From Tokyo to Los Angeles to Skateboarding's first Olympic Gold Medal | ESPN Asia

Skateboarding has a new king, Yuto Horigome, newly crowned Olympic champion, gives a troubled host nation another fine reason to cheer these Olympics. Horigome, 22, clinched Skateboarding's first Olympic gold medal in the humid Japanese summer on Sunday at Tokyo’s Ariake Urban Park.

Horigome almost looks effortless on his runs, after putting in a middling start, he landed four monster tricks—including one he said he had never tried in a competition before.

By winning skateboarding’s first gold, Horigome has the power to lay waste to the notion that skateboarders are a menace to society: a stereotype that persists in many parts of the world. No skateboarding signs are still common across Tokyo. Now, a skateboarder is one of the faces of Japan’s Olympics team.

SportsCenter Asia airs every weekday at 3:00PM, 7:30PM, and 10:30PM HKT on Fox Sports Asia.
