Skateboarding’s Olympic debut will truly be one for the ages.
World Skate announced the 80 qualifiers for the Tokyo Games on Thursday — 20 each for men’s and women’s park and street.
The youngest qualifiers are 12 years old — Brit Sky Brown, who turns 13 on July 12, and Japanese Kokona Hiraki, who was born two days after the Beijing Olympics ended. Brown and Hiraki are ranked Nos. 3 and 6 in the world, respectively.
They are younger than any Olympian since Cameroon swimmer Antoinette Guedia at those 2008 Olympics.
