X Games Japan begins Saturday at Makuhari Messe in Chiba with a new team format added to the usual individual events. Japan Times reported that athletes will compete for both personal medals and team points in the debut season of an F1-style league. Skateboarder Sora Shirai practiced at the venue Friday afternoon ahead of the opening.
The event features top skateboarders and BMX riders performing at the Chiba site. Coco Yoshizawa, who won gold in women’s street skateboarding at the Paris Olympics, is among the local competitors. Australian Arisa Trew, a 10-time X Games gold medalist and reigning Olympic champion in women’s park skateboarding, is also scheduled to compete.
The weekend program returns the X Games to Chiba after previous editions, with the team element marking the main change this year.
