Watch the finals tomorrow LIVE on Olympics.com: https://oly.ch/SkateSharjahYT1

Olympic champions Keegan Palmer and Yosozumi Sakura front the park skaters heading to the Aljada skate park in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, to compete for world titles and Paris 2024 qualification ranking points.

The road to Paris 2024 will begin for park skateboarders at the 2022 World Park Skateboarding Championships in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, from 5-12 February.

The week-long contest to determine two new world champions will also double-up as an Olympic qualification event with ranking points handed out to skaters based on their results.

The competition will start with a men and women’s open qualifier where those that finish in the top 32 will advance to the quarterfinals. There, the skaters that are pre-seeded based on their Olympic World Skate Ranking (OWSR), will join the competition phase.

A quarterfinal and semi-final will then cut down the field until just eight remain for the final which will be streamed live on Olympics.com on Sunday 12 February.

From Tokyo 2020 Olympic gold medallist Keegan Palmer to Great Britain’s Sky Brown, in attendance at the Aljada skate park there will be no shortage of star power coming in Sharjah.

    Very interesting. A 50 / 50 prize money split.
    However, high chance of broken bones.
    I recently bought a new skateboard actually, after abandoning 2, a few years back. I was really surprised at such an affordable price.
    Yes, economics really seem to be creating a push towards perhaps.

    Sponsorship of a girl ! Maybe one, with a caring mum. Able to work around a few broken bones, and some Xrays !

    No disrespect to the camera operators for this competition, but a deep understanding of skateboarding is necessary to be able to film it in a way that is captivating and exciting. Most of this Olympic Qualifier event has been filmed so poorly (especially the street skateboarding). It's honestly hard to watch. You need to hire experienced skateboard filmers to direct this sort of thing. I mean, you've got @tweestopher there, and that's an excellent start. Just get more people like him.

    I feel like the scoring for the second heat was much higher, just look a Kieran and Eaton's scores.

    69 was a shameful score for Ruby Trew's first run and it messed up the scoring for the whole semifinal. The entire first heat was sandbagged and then the judges forgot what they'd seen by the second heat. They need to just not score any run until they see 3 and then score the first 3 simultaneously.

    There is to much focus on the skaters bails. The highlights of each run should showcase the best parts.

    liking the tone of the commentators (Glifberg is a true legend), but they're not conveying the magnitude of the 'tricks' properly

    Too difficult to figure out the scoring; judges way too stingy at the beginning and way too rewarding towards the end. If they don’t give anything higher than an 85 to the first group, they aren’t doing their job with respectable consistency. There must be something I’m missing. An incomplete run should not take the top spot.

    I wish the announcer would talk less. That continuous talking is distracting.
