Just over a year after capturing the first-ever gold medal in skateboarding at the Tokyo Olympics, Yuto Horigome finally had a chance to perform in front of a massive home crowd on Saturday night.
The superstar street skater made a special appearance ahead of FC Tokyo’s J. League first-division game against Yokohama F. Marinos, participating in a talk show that drew hundreds of fans before entertaining over 29,000 inside Ajinomoto Stadium with a mini-ramp demonstration.
Between the two events, Horigome held court in a packed news conference room of more than 30 writers and four television crews.
