Skateboarding is an Olympic sport. It is being played for the second time at the Paris Games after making its debut during the 2020 Games, but the athletes may not be as well-known yet as some of skateboarding's most influential figures of all time. Tony Hawk, of course, is the name people think of when it comes to skateboarding.
Hawk is 56 years old and has been retired from professional skating since 2003. In recent years, Hawk has been winding down his skating on the hobby side too, completing some tricks for the last time ever.
