Olympic champions Keegan Palmer and Yosozumi Sakura front the park skaters heading to the Aljada skate park in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, to compete for world titles and Paris 2024 qualification ranking points.
The road to Paris 2024 will begin for park skateboarders at the 2022 World Park Skateboarding Championships in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, from 5-12 February.
The week-long contest to determine two new world champions will also double-up as an Olympic qualification event with ranking points handed out to skaters based on their results.
The competition will start with a men and women’s open qualifier where those that finish in the top 32 will advance to the quarterfinals. There, the skaters that are pre-seeded based on their Olympic World Skate Ranking (OWSR), will join the competition phase.
A quarterfinal and semi-final will then cut down the field until just eight remain for the final which will be streamed live on Olympics.com on Sunday 12 February.
From Tokyo 2020 Olympic gold medallist Keegan Palmer to Great Britain’s Sky Brown, in attendance at the Aljada skate park there will be no shortage of star power coming in Sharjah.
