Yosozumi won with a trick-filled first run that scored 60.09, making her the only competitor to break 60 points in the event at the Ariake Urban Sports Park. Before dropping into the huge skate bowl, Yosozumi asked her nervous mother to give her some space and steeled herself. “Skateboarding is a great sport, a fun sport," Yosozumi said. Even around the Olympic skate park, signs forbid skating. In total, Japan has five of the nine skateboarding medals that have been handed out so far.
