加载中…猜猜哪项奥林匹克运动将在东京腾飞

2016年奥运会(2016 Olympics)闭幕式上出现的一个令许多人惊讶的场面是，装扮成任天堂(Nintendo)电动游戏人物马里奥（Mario）的日本首相安倍晋三(Shinzo Abe)从球场地板中的巨大绿色管道冒出来。
在电动魔法的帮助下，安倍首相好像是通过管道走捷径，从东京(Tokyo)来到了里约热内卢(Rio de Janeiro)的闭幕式。
安倍首相还为奥运会带来了一个包含着半管式(half-pipe)、四分之一管式(quarter pipe)、豚跳(ollie)和脚尖翻板(kickflip)等等技巧名称的运动——滑板运动被列入了2020年东京奥运会项目。
根据国际奥委会(International Olympic Committee)的新规则，主办城市可以提议添加新的运动项目。基于“将奥运会带给年轻人”（“bringing the Games to young people”）的宗旨，除了滑板，日本还为2020年运动会增加了冲浪，体育攀登，空手道，棒球和垒球。
滑板运动发端于1970年代的美国加州(California)，当时一些青少年在街道上和利用废弃的游泳池坡底玩滑板。由于设备和设施廉价，而且不需要多少正规教练指导，在新增项目中，滑板堪称是大众体育项目。
巴西滑板高手图略·德·拉·奥利维拉(Tulio de la Oliveira)在2010年带头把一个废弃的公园变成一个公共滑板场，初露头角的滑板人可以在这里得到免费学练机会（如今可为奥运而练）。
今天，世界各地都有运动员参加热门的极限运动比赛X Games。
滑板运动中的两个代表性滑法叫做“街头式”和“公园式”，它们均将成为在东京角逐奖牌的项目。在街头滑板中，运动员在有栏杆、坡道和阶梯的赛道上滑行穿梭，炫耀他们的跳跃技巧，并力争毫无闪失地抵达终点。公园滑板项目在一个碗状的水泥赛场进行。在两种比赛项目中，比赛选手在设定的时间内自由发挥，基于跳跃、技巧和整体风格受到评判。
奥运会滑板比赛将有80名运动员参加——男女选手各40名。
国际滑板协会(International Skateboarding Federation)主席加里·里姆（Gary Ream）说:“我始终认为，如果滑板运动得到适当的保护和支持，它在奥运舞台上的出现有可能给世界带来改变。”
Guess which Olympic sports are flying into Tokyo?

The prime minister also brought the sport of half-pipes, quarter pipes, ollies and kickflips to the Olympics, as Japan added skateboarding to the 2020 Games in Tokyo.

cities propose new sports.
Skateboarding traces its lineage to California kids carving
through streets and the curvy basins of abandoned swimming pools in
the 1970s. With inexpensive
equipment
Brazilian skater Tulio de Oliveira in 2010 led an effort to convert a disused park into a public skate park, where budding skaters can learn (and now, train for the Olympics) for free.
Today, athletes from around the world compete in the popular X Games competition, which focuses on extreme sports.
Two signature skateboard events, “street” and “park,” will put
people on the podium in Tokyo. In street skateboarding, athletes
navigate a course of rails, ramps and stairs to show off jumps and
try not to wipe out. The park event takes place in bowl-shaped,
concrete arenas.
The Olympic skating competition will feature 80 athletes — 40 men and 40 women.
“I’ve always believed that if skateboarding was properly protected and supported, its appearance on the Olympic stage could change the world,” International Skateboarding Federation president Gary Ream said.
