It's a chance for fans and athletes alike to go watch and try different sports, experience epic moments together and meet a lot new people.
The Olympic Qualifier Series serves as the ultimate qualification stage on the road to Paris 2024 for BMX freestyle, breaking, skateboarding and sport climbing. In total, over 150 quota places for Paris 2024 will be allocated following the Series in accordance with the relevant qualification systems.
The Olympic Qualifier Series employs a points system designed to determine which athletes will secure quota places for Olympic Games Paris 2024. The International Federations are responsible for determining the rules related to the points system of their respective sports.
Athletes in BMX freestyle, sport climbing, and breaking will compete for a maximum of 50 points at each of the events in Shanghai and Budapest, making a maximum possible total of 100 points per athlete. Points from both stops will be compiled into a ranking for each of the sports, that will determine which athletes earn quota places for Paris 2024.
For skateboarding, the points system is divided into three parts: results from prior competitions and the results from the Shanghai and Budapest Olympic Qualifier Series events respectively. One-third of the points are allocated from past competitions, while the remaining two-thirds will be up for grabs in Shanghai and Budapest. The combined points from all competitions will give the final ranking.

Dear Olympics, you've been promoting this for 2 weeks on KZbin, so far you've uploaded a few poorly edited highlight reels and this semi-finals video, that was never broadcast live, which awkwardly starts near the end of the first heat in the MIDDLE of someone's run! Couldn't do it live for some reason but also SOMEONE CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER TO HIT RECORD! How does that, in any way, reflect your organization is run with any amount of competence? You need to remember you need skateboarding more than skateboarding needs you, and if this is how you're treating it the Olympics frankly don't deserve skateboarding.

[@75YBA]

Same issue, looked for it live while it was supposed to be streaming to no avail only to find the only version of it available is this poorly produced upload that starts halfway through a competition. Something tells me they wouldn't upload a video of an Olympic qualifying race of any sort that started in the middle of the race. Treating skateboarding as a second class sport, typical Olympics.

@@kevindenley9292 that was flipping crazy. a 78 for a perfect KF front nose on the tall ledge is criminally low, but they give vianna a 93 for a trick he does at every comp. Dont get me wrong, its an insane trick, but i think they're being too generous with the scoring on that one.

Will the rest of the qualifiers make it to KZbin? I regrettably downloaded the Olympics a so I could see the finals which happened on the 19 but don’t see them anywhere obvious on the app. Too bad, KZbin channels are a super easy and logical way to organize livestreams, and the demographic you are attempting to reach is already here!

That’s why people are upset. It’s an honor to have that job. They should be paying someone who has better knowledge of skateboarding and more entertaining. I can think of plenty of skateboarders who could do a better job. It’s not about jealousy it’s disrespectful to skateboarders and viewers to have someone that incompetent having that job. The olympic committee wouldn’t dare to do that in a more lucrative sport like basketball. It’s embarrassing. They pulled the same bs last olympics.

hobos 2nd run was hugely over scored.. he does the exact same tricks in every contest ..kickflip nose, kickflip crook, kickflip board, kickflip blunt. an occasional poorly wrapped impossible. we get it you can kickflip. this dude never does switch, fakie or nollie or anything new and interesting and his style isnt even that great.. if he wasnt consistently over scored he would never be here.
