Golden generation: Japan’s Nishiya leads teen skater medal rush
On Monday, Momiji Nishiya, a 13-year-old from Japan, won the gold medal in the women's street skateboarding competition at the Olympics. She became the youngest-ever gold medal winner for her country, and was joined on the podium by two other teenagers: Rayssa Leal from Brazil, who won the silver medal, and Funa Nakayama from Japan, who won the bronze. This victory marked a skateboarding double for Japan, as Yuto Horigome had won the gold medal in the men's street event the day before, making it the first gold medal for the sport in Olympic history.0
