Named the sport with the shortest path to the Olympic medal
Parents should think about giving their child to skateboarding, this sport is the shortest way to an Olympic medal, said Ilya Vdovin, Ambassador of the International Skateboarding Federation (World Skate), President of the Russian Skateboarding Federation.
Skateboarding is the shortest way to an Olympic medal. For those parents who want to raise their child to be a champion, this is a great option.
You have to practice skiing for 15 years, and then the child, perhaps, will get to some major championship. In skateboarding, athletes get to the World Cup as early as eight or nine years old, having ridden only three years before that.
Children perform the exact same tricks on a skateboard as adults. In our sport, there are no age restrictions for getting into major international competitions. This is a unique situation. They say that someday there will be restrictions, but so far the International Federation (World Skate) has more important problems, ”Gazeta.Ru quotes Vdovin.
