LOS ANGELES : The spectator-free Tokyo Olympics was a disappointment for top-ranked U.S. skateboarder Nyjah Huston but he reckons it will be a different story when fans pack the stands in Paris next year.
"It will be nice to experience a more normal Olympics and have the crowd, have the energy of the fans. It will be a lot better feeling out there." At the party, three-time Olympic champion snowboarder Shaun White and Huston discussed bouncing back from their respective leg injuries, with Huston telling White he had fully recovered from his ACL tear last August.
"I think Nyjah is coming in hot because he has something to prove," said Sheckler, 33, whose meteoritic rise and comeback from injuries is chronicled in the documentary"Rolling Away," which was released on Saturday on Red Bull TV. "As skateboarders, we're not out there seeing each other as rivals. We're all cool with each other," said Huston, who got his first sponsorship deal at seven years old and turned pro at 11.
Huston will be 33 when the Olympics return to Los Angeles in 2028 and said the long runway has given him an incentive to stay on top of his fitness.
