Replying to The Olympic tokyo 2020 skateboarding
First congratulations to the Olympic 2020 Tokyo skateboard gold medalists
Yuto Horigome and Momiji Nishiya
While I was watching I realized that the commentators knew pretty much nothing about skateboarding and one of them even a Tre flip a hardflip and I feel like for the Olympics they could've done better at least by hiring someone well informed about skateboarding. For an organization as big as the Olympics it was disappointing. Imagine working incredibly hard just to have your tricks called the wrong thing and this also negatively impacts the people that don't know much about skateboarding too they could look at a tre flip then think "oh i know this trick one of the Olympic commentators said this was a hardflip" then calling it the wrong term.
this is my thought but what did you guys think about the whole event, also I'm glad skateboarding is now an Olympic sport.
