Chiba – Tokyo Olympic silver medalist Kokona Hiraki claimed her first X Games gold in the women’s skateboarding park competition Saturday after rain kept athletes off the course at Chiba’s Zozo Marine Stadium.
With multiple skateboarding and BMX finals scheduled for Day 2 of X Games Japan 2023, the persistent rainfall forced organizers to use the previous day’s elimination-round results for the final standings.
That left the 14-year-old Hiraki on top after she qualified for the final with an 83.33 total. American Ruby Lilley was the runner-up, while Japan’s Yurin Fujii finished third.
