Weird, he basically looks like a textbook Nike skateboard athlete
People are misunderstood on The olympics shit though. 20 skaters get qualified based on contest points and Max 3 per country, so his chances are very slim
Yeah and there's been no contests in almost a year so points won't really hold that much weight.
I bet it's go down to who's fittest, on form, had their vaccine, got their travel papers and can pass the drug test(s). That's who's going. If more than 2 of those prerequisites are a fail, they aren't going.
Anyone have any info on paid/sponsored skateboarders in the Olympics? I was under the impression that no athlete in the Olympics could accept financial incentive from sponsors...
If that is the case, he could be leaving Nike to help secure his spot in the next games.
No one would be able to do the type of training it takes to get into the Olympics without sponsor support, you just can't wear sponsor branding in the games
Absolutely, I was thinking there was some clause for companies that have their equipment used in the games.
If the entire running team is supposed to wear Airwalk for their races, I imagined conflicts would arise if only one of the runners was also being paid from Airwalk.
Unrelated but kind of odd that Visa and McDonalds are the sole sponsors of the games.
