Skateboarding
In Olympic Skateboarding, athletes perform tricks and maneuvers on skateboards across two main disciplines: Street and Park. In Street, athletes navigate through urban-inspired courses featuring stairs, rails, and other obstacles, executing technical tricks with creativity and style. Park takes place in bowl-shaped courses with curves, ramps, and transitions, allowing athletes to perform high-flying aerial tricks and fluid maneuvers. Judges evaluate each skater's performance based on difficulty, execution, style, and creativity, with the highest-scoring participants earning medals.

Her long hair is flying back as she holds onto her skateboard, with her knees bent and one hand extended for balance.
