It’s never too early to start skateboarding.
Skateboarding has always been a youthful activity, but as the sport approaches its biggest stage, it’s kids, especially girls, who are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with a piece of wood and four wheels.
Three years ago, fans were in awe of the teenage medalists in skateboarding at the Tokyo Games, where the sport made its Olympic debut. While the stars of those Games now hope to continue their exploits in France this summer, two young Japanese teenagers are already looking beyond Paris and getting a head start on their preparations for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
