X GAMES Skateboard Street 2019
The results of the Monster Energy Men’s Skateboard Street are the following:
- Yuto Horigome – gold medal
- Nyjah Huston – silver medal
- Sora Shirai – bronze medal
17-year old Sora Shirai’s run was just crazy. One of his tricks was hardflip frontside boardslide, but he still only got bronze medal and third place. This is his first X Games medal.
Nyjah Huston took silver medal. This is his forth silver medal and 17th medal in total from X Games for all the time. Nyjah has got 11 gold medals from all the X Games Skateboard disciplines. He is still on the second place with these numbers for the whole X Games history.
The first place was after Japanese Yuto Horigome. It’s his first gold medal and second medal from X Games.
Of course, one can argue with judges. For example, you could give first place to Sora Shirai. But judgement is quite strict, that’s why Nyjah got second place. On the other hand, there was an opinion that Nyjah could be the first. It’s always hard to judge the best.
