Watch the finals: Street skateboarders looking to make it to the next Olympic Games are returning to Rome from 18-25 June for the next stop on the qualification road to Paris 2024. As they did one year ago skaters, including Olympic stars Horigome Yuto, Rayssa Leal and Nyjah Huston, will once more meet under the shadow of Rome’s majestic Colosseum in the Parco di Colle Oppio skatepark to battle it out for the number one prize. And with the Games looming, the fight for ranking points also on offer in Italy based on finishing positions is heating up. Just like with the previous skateboarding Olympic qualifying events, the competition will begin with a men’s and women’s open qualifier where the top 27 will advance to the quarter-finals. There, the top five skaters who are pre-seeded owing to their Olympic World Skate Ranking will join the contest. The field will then be chopped down leaving just eight skaters standing for the men’s and women’s finals on Sunday 25 June.
