The Street event saw hosts Japan triumph and take home Gold in both the Men’s and the Women’s competition, with Brazil getting a clean sweep of silver. Japan took another medal in the Women’s competition with Funa Nakayama taking bronze. American Jagger Eaton finished off the Men’s podium. Impressively, the average of the Women’s podium was 14 – skateboarding’s next generation.
