Japan's Horigome Yuto has won gold in the first-ever Olympic skateboarding event.
The 22-year-old got off to a slow start in the men's street competition, finishing sixth in the qualifying heat. But he was at his best in the final, where he landed four out of five tricks to rack up the highest overall score.
Horigome said afterwards that he felt he had nothing to lose and skated as aggressively as possible.
The Tokyo native beat a crowded field that included American star Nyjah Huston. The gold medal favorite fell repeatedly in the final and finished seventh.
Another sport made its Olympic debut on Sunday. Qualifying heats for the men's and women's surfing competitions were held in Chiba Prefecture, east of Tokyo.

The first surfers to ever compete in the Olympics began the men's and women's heats in Tsurigasaki, Chiba Prefecture, east of Tokyo.

The top tennis players at the Tokyo Olympics are reportedly calling for matches to be rescheduled to avoid the heat.

World number two Daniil Medvedev reportedly said the conditions in Tokyo are among the hottest and most humid he has ever experienced, and also suggested matches be rescheduled for later in the day.

Under the new rules, either player in a singles match can request a 10-minute break between the second and third sets when the temperature rises to a certain level.
During the break, players are allowed to eat and drink, shower and get re-taped.
But they cannot receive medical treatment, use electronic devices or receive any coaching.
Doubles matches will not have such breaks.

Europe's automakers are accelerating their shift to electric vehicles as the European Union announced plans to effectively ban sales of new cars powered by gasoline or diesel from 2035.
EU member nations are stepping up environmental restrictions on cars in line with the planned ban.
German automaker Daimler has hammered out plans to go fully electric with its luxury model Mercedes-Benz by 2030. That's nearly ten years ahead of an initial schedule of 2039.
The firm says it will invest 40 billion euros, or 47 billion dollars, to build new facilities to produce batteries and other equipment.
Other European brands, including Britain's Jaguar, Germany's Audi, and Sweden's Volvo, plan to follow suit.
There is a growing worldwide trend for going carbon-free. Automakers in other parts of the world are also expected to speed up efforts to make their lineups electric.
