And now he won the first ever gold in skateboarding at the Olympics. I have a feeling this guy's fame is only going to rise even higher!

[@marooqi]

I love how he figured that out and came back to contests a force to be reckoned with. I admire his style and mastery.

[@Normansilverajr]

They took this man all over la

[@technodrone313]

I think he achieved his goal.

[@geronimosilveira7349]

so is some kind of pressure to make yankee tricks on contest? I even love skaters like Yuto making insane blind nollie bs 180 smith , even when the judges doesn´t score like he deserve, or Riso Tury heelflip grinds, Manny Santiago Pop shove its and soo on. 360 flips and bs flips are cool but we seen that since Ryan Sheckler, Chaz Ortiz, and so manny that does that kinda tricks

[@jesusismuslimtruthseeker984]

Dattebayooo

[@jesusismuslimtruthseeker984]

[@raychan8]

堀米くんと天心くんがおなじような考え話してるから驚いた。2人が仲良くなるのうなずける。

[@realistmw]

Guy moves half way across the world to skate board 😶

[@TCLElectronicsGlobal]

[@melodygangrecords1582]

He's a spy

[@Cynical2012]

Is this the guy that the olympic judges displayed favoritism to and cheated other skaters out of medals for?

[@SachiraBhanu]

This is the guy who did his best when others failed to be like him.

[@davadh]

Other skaters couldn't land their tricks, otherwise they've won

[@jolenenakamatsu4397]

They didn't need to display favoritism. He just was the best skater.

[@raiderrichard7291]

Next achievement: learn how to speak English!

[@meriocorona6799]

Skateboarding already speaks it for him, fuck outta here .
