Here comes the sun: Teenage skaters fall and rise again at Paris Games
The sprawling skate park set up in Paris’s Place de la Concorde was packed with spectators on Sunday who came to cheer on some of the 2024 Olympics’ youngest champions. Unphased by the unrelenting – though welcome – sunshine, teenage Japanese skaters Coco Yoshizawa and Liz Akama won the gold and silver medals, with Brazilian icon and crowd favourite Rayssa Leal snatching bronze with her final trick.
