SKATEBOARDING ERROR RIDDEN
The one sport among all that constitutes the 2024 Paris Olympics that sticks out like a sore thumb, is skateboarding.
Not only is it one-off being new to the Olympic Games but it is the only sport that is so error ridden that excellence and exactness is like trying to squeeze juice out of an unripe lemon.
Does skateboarding belong at the Olympics?
Probably not in its current format.
While on the Olympics, the NZ men's rugby sevens were overrated by NZ media associates with predictions of them winning the gold medal.. They were not rated in the top three or four at Paris. The problem lies not only with the head coach but that not one member of the 2024 squad would make the All Blacks 15 a side 23. If the sevens 12 lineup for Paris had what you could term fringe ABs15 a side such as Love, Lakai, Sotutu and Moorby for instance, they would have won gold two days ago.
