J-Arena S2023E10 - Skateboarding Park

In Skateboarding Park, skaters have just 45 seconds to impress the judges with tricks in their run around the course. 17-year-old Nagahara Yuro is an up-and-coming Japanese skater known for his technical prowess. At the X Games in 2022, he achieved the best-ever performance by a Japanese Men's Park competitor, placing fourth. The Japan Open, the first Japanese competition of the 2023 season, was held in April. We see how Nagahara fared at the event in the run-up to the selection of the Japanese team for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
