Japan’s Yoshizawa wins skateboard street gold in Paris
Japanese teenager Coco Yoshizawa won skateboard street gold after a dramatic final in Paris.
The 14-year-old has had a rapid rise through the rankings in the past year and her final score of 272.75 secured victory on her Olympic debut.
Yoshizawa raised her arms into the air as she nailed her final trick to the delight of a packed crowd inside Place de la Concorde.
It meant she knocked compatriot Liz Akama off the top spot, with the 15-year-old finishing second while Brazil’s Rayssa Leal, silver medalist in Tokyo three years ago, took bronze.
Great Britain did not qualify for the street event but Sky Brown and Lola Tambling will compete in the women’s park event on 6 August before Andy MacDonald goes in the men’s event on 7 August.
