Fifty-seven years after having organized their first Olympic Games, the Japanese capital will be hosting a Summer edition for the second time. In 2021, the country will host its fourth Games, if we include the Winter Games of 1972 in Sapporo and of 1998 in Nagano. The Games in 1964 radically transformed the country. According to the organizers of the event in 2021 this will be “the most innovative ever organized, and will rest on three fundamental principles to transform the world: striving for your personal best (achieving your personal best); accepting one another (unity in diversity); and passing on a legacy for the future (connecting to tomorrow)”.
Aligning with the reforms advocated by Olympic Agenda 2020, the Tokyo Games will use as many existing competition venues as possible, namely those built for the Games in 1964, such as the prestigious Nippon Budokkan for judo, the Baji Koen Park for equestrian events, and the Yoyogi National Gymnasium for handball. The Tokyo National Stadium, where the Opening and Closing Ceremonies and athletics competitions will be staged, will be completely revamped and replaced by a new arena. Skateboarding is set to make its Olympic debut in Tokyo, and will be held at the Ariake Urban Sports Arena... as of now.
Due to the Covid-19 outbreak, the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 were postponed for the first time in their history. The Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 will now be held on 23 July 2021.
The Skateboarding portions of the Olympics will be as follows - 
PARK
The park competition comprises two rounds: prelims and finals. In the prelims, 20 skaters will first compete in four heats of five skaters. The first eight skaters from the combined ranking of the heats will progress to the finals.
In each round, the skater’s best of three 45-second runs count as their final round score. Five judges use a 0-100.00 point scale. The highest and lowest scores for each run are dropped, and the remaining three scores are averaged to two decimal places resulting in the final run score.
The street competition is made up of two rounds: prelims and finals.
In the prelims, 20 skaters will first compete in four heats of five skaters. The first eight skaters from the combined ranking of the heats will progress to the finals.
In each round, the skaters will perform two 45-second runs and five tricks. Five judges use a 0-10.0 point scale. The highest and lowest scores for each run or trick are dropped, and the remaining three scores are averaged to one decimal place resulting in the final score.
In each round, the skater’s four highest run or trick scores are added to create their final round score.
We are all greatly looking forward to getting back to normal, and the Olympics is one of those global events that many people can usually count on. Let us all stay safe and get through this so that we might embrace normalcy once more.
