The tournament is one of the international tournaments where points are earned for the world rankings that will determine who will represent the Paris Olympics, and on the 12th, the participating athletes made their final adjustments at the venue.
Among the men’s athletes, Horime, a gold medalist at the Tokyo Olympics, performed tricks such as spinning 270 degrees and jumping onto the rail while skating as if checking the course.
Horime is currently ranked 12th in the world, the fourth-best Japanese athlete, and is not among the top three Japanese athletes eligible to participate in the Olympics.
Horime said, “It’s a big stage, the World Championships in Japan, so I want to do my best.I’m aiming for first place every time I compete, so I want to skate my best and get a good result.”
In addition, Nishiyakan, who is ranked number one in the women’s world rankings and won the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, said, “I’m trying new techniques, so I want to have fun while skating in my own way.”
The men’s and women’s finals of the Skateboarding and Street World Championships will be held on the 17th of this month.
