Nike SB has partnered with Converse CONS team rider Alexis Sablone to design a kit for the United States Skateboarding Federation, along with a unique kit to represent all skaters. While skateboarding's appearance in the Olympics is still up for debate, preparations are underway for the 2024 Paris Games. We look forward to seeing our favorite skaters take to the world's biggest stage, and we're introducing new jerseys, shoes, and more.
These are some questions we're pondering as we wait for the Olympics to begin.
When did skateboarding become an Olympic sport?
Skateboarding will make its debut at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (actually held in 2021) and is here to stay.
When and where will skateboarding take place at the Paris Olympics?
The Paris 2024 Olympic Skateboarding competition will take place at the iconic Place de la Concorde in the heart of the French capital.
Who can participate in Olympic skateboarding?
Like other Olympic sports, there is a qualification process to compete for the gold medal. National teams and individual skaters qualify based on their performance at the World Skateboarding Championships and other qualifying events. 44 men and 44 women compete.
