For all the hype that the olympic committees and media made about skateboarding's debut as an olympic sport, they sure did f*** up its format and event structure.

I was really excited to watch it, and the skating itself was as entertaining as I expected it to be. But it's honestly like they barely even thought about anything other than publicizing its debut in the media. Everything about their treatment of it in the actual olympics seemed either half-assed or confused.

They had the Street section condensed into a single event — two 45sec runs followed by four best trick attempts, and your best 4 scores out of those six are averaged. That's it. The whole Street skate is a single event that's a mix of two very different things that require different skillsets/judging criteria. Meanwhile the olympics has upwards of like 20 separate f***in events for people who swim back and forth in a pool.

Then the judges clearly weren't following the rules about not rewarding skaters for performing the same or similar tricks repeatedly.

They invited skate medalists from recent X Games — people who actually know what a skater is doing in their run, and can accurately describe s*** — to serve as "skateboarding ambassadors", which AFAICT is one step above being the manager of your high school basketball team. Meanwhile, NBC's two commentators were routinely mis-labeling tricks, barely described anything for viewers new to the sport, and there were an obscene amount of 25-30 second commercial breaks during the event that made you miss several runs/trick attempts.

And to top it all off, Nyjah dropped 4 goose eggs in a row trying the same damn trick back-to-back-to-back and didn't even place on the podium
