In an empty, blazing skatepark over eight miles from his home in Tokyo, 22-year-old Yuto Horigome won a gold medal for street skateboarding on Sunday.
When he arrived, the children’s play area at Ariake Urban Sports Park was deserted due to pandemic regulations, and he was greeted by enthusiastic applause from the volunteers.
That said, any success is bound to resonate. While Yuto was only a few kilometres away, Ryota, Horigome’s father, couldn’t watch, not even on television. In the company of an instantly recognisable neighbour, he rode his bicycle out of the third-floor flat where his family resided.

Rome’s semi-finals were the first time that Paris 2024’s new scoring system – 2/5/3/ – was implemented.

Horigome, the defending champion, defeated Nyjah Huston of the United States, the sport’s most successful contest street skater.
That’s what Horigome, 22, did back in his hometown.
If they had been able to see Yuto’s gold medal win in person, Japanese supporters were likely to be in such frame of mind. However, because of the COVID-19 pandemic that has affected much of the country, no one is allowed to attend the Olympic activities in Tokyo.
