07 Aug women’s park skateboarding 2024 Olympics
How amazing was that!? (I am talking about the women’s park skateboarding at the Paris Olympics). It is so much fun to watch, and perhaps like many of the sports included in the Olympic Games, it is particularly awe-inspiring in terms of the level of skill and coordination that seems necessary to do what these women have been doing tonight (or today in Paris)!
Skateboarding does seem like a particularly tricky sport though. They make it look like much of it is effortless to them. And when they fall, in those awkward positions they don’t seem to hurt themselves as I would expect!
I wish I had been engaged when the street skating competition was on.
Intuitively, I feel like those kinds of manoeuvres have got to be good for these athletes. I guess I mean for their minds as well as their bodies, based on the ways that they creatively use those seemingly treacherous surfaces to pull off those incredible tricks!
