Although the United States didn't win the gold medal in Dong 'ao Street, it is still the strongest skateboarding country. If skateboarding has been developed for 60 years since the 1960s, and street skateboarding was shaped about twenty or thirty years ago, it can be said that skateboarding basically started in the United States. Most godfathers, including equipment brands, are from the United States, and some well-known brands are from Canada or Australia. Freestyle skateboarding was introduced to Japan in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and street skateboarding was finalized in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Therefore, Japanese skateboarding has the advantage of starting early.
Skateboarding is very commercialized, and the training of skateboarders is relatively free. This project is not to invite a foreign coach to teach, point out the maze and practice hard to get into the first line. Simply put, this sport needs more talent, and the so-called talent is a strong self-learning ability. Skateboarding should choose top talents. Only by promoting skateboarding, expanding the number of participants and having a huge base can top skateboarders appear. The skaters communicate with each other and compete with each other. Everyone can be each other's teacher. Maybe a demonstration in a few words will wake you up. Such an environment did not exist before China. This is why we engage in cross-border talent selection, cramming for the last minute and hiring foreign coaches. In fact, we are just laying the foundation and filling an Olympic gap.
Skateboarding is the mainstream of extreme sports, and there are huge skateboarding groups in Europe and America. Adding skateboarding to the Olympic Games will help to enhance the attractiveness of Europe and America. Therefore, from the development of the Olympic Games, it is an inevitable trend to absorb extreme sports such as skateboarding. For our country, this is a weakness, and for young people, this is a highly concerned issue. Japan won the most concerned street gold medal. Most people in China don't know the history of skateboarding and the strength gap. Netizens blindly booed and caused controversy.
