asianthree said it perfectly. It's as athletic and skilled as a person can get. Just because it wasn't in the Olympics when you were young doesn't mean it's not legit now that you're old. How about that 1/2 court basketball or ping pong?
"
Paris 2024 submitted its proposal to the IOC to integrate four additional sports closely associated with young people and reward creativity and athletic performance. These sports are breaking (making its Olympic debut), sport climbing, skateboarding, and surfing."
Young people love it. When they are old will they say Oly ain't wat it used to be?
They are in the Olympics, we aren't. That says a lot.
