Skateboarding at the 2020 Summer Olympics is an event to be held in the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.[2][3] It will be the debut appearance of skateboarding at the Summer Olympics. Skateboarding is one of five new sports added to the Olympic program specifically for 2020,[4] rather than as a permanent sport.[5]

Qualification

Each National Olympic Committee (NOC), the governing body for each country’s Olympic goings-on, is allowed six men and six women for skateboarding, but no more than three athletes per gender per event.PP
