Skateboard Park Olympic Update: Pedro Barros and Misugu Okamoto Lead the Pack
The 2019 Dew Tour Long Beach park competition marks as the first Olympic qualifying competition for the 2019 season. After all said and done, Pedro Barros of Brazil and Misugu Okamoto of Japan lead the current Olympic skateboard park rankings.
Athletes traveled from around the world for a chance to earn valuable Olympic points for a chance to represent their country at the Tokyo Summer Games in 2020. With athletes from Brazil, Japan, Australia, Italy, Spain, and France, it’s quite evident that skateboarding has an international interest.
For those park skateboarders who did not make it as far as they wished, they still have more opportunities in the 2019 season to collect points. The next Olympic qualification event is the ISO of Park Skateboarding Nanjing scheduled for July 14-19, 2019.
For now, here’s how the women and men from park skateboarding stack up in Olympic points after the 2019 Dew Tour Long Beach.
