Aussie skateboarders out to nail down Olympic spots

Australia's skateboard brigade can take a giant front-side flip into Paris with strong performances in stage one of the Olympic Qualifier Series in Shanghai. 

Led by Tokyo Games gold medallist Keegan Palmer, a 19-strong contingent are competing in park (12 athletes) and street (seven) to improve their world rankings to remain in contention for Paris.

Other big-name Australians in action include Tokyo 2020 Olympian Shane O'Neill, 2023 X Games gold medallist Chloe Covell and recent Laureus World Action Sportsperson of the Year award recipient, 14-year-old Arisa Trew.
