Let's take a look at what new events fans will be able to watch when the Olympics start on July 26. 

The park and street disciplines for skateboarding were popular when they were introduced in Toyko, as some of the best skaters in the world showed off their creativity on their boards. 

Each event will consist of two rounds, prelims and finals, in skate parks designed to give the competitors all the necessary assets to impress the judges with their tricks. 

Skaters will be judged by not only the height and speed of their tracks during jumps, but also their ability to use the entire surface area of the skate park. 

Paris’ famous Place de la Concorde will be the site for this year’s skate competition.
