The excitement surrounding skateboarding continues to build during the Paris 2024 Olympics. Skateboarding rapidly evolved from a fad during its first boom in the 1960s, to the center of mainstream youth culture in the early 2000s. Skateboarding is as much an art as it is a sport; the fun and freedom of expression bestowed on those willing to step on a board is rewarding for all, regardless of ability, age, gender, socio-economic status, or ethnicity.

在2024年巴黎奥运会期间，人们对滑板运动的热情持续升温。20世纪60年代起，滑板成为一种时尚潮流，至21世纪初，它已占据青年主流文化的中心地位。滑板既是一项运动，也是一种艺术。无论能力如何，无论是何年龄、性别、社会经济地位或种族，踏上滑板的那一刻起，每一个人都可以乐享自我表达的自由。

Preparations for Paris 2024

秣马厉兵，备战巴黎奥运

World Skate has done a lot of preparation for its second Olympic Games in Paris, following the success of skateboarding's debut in Tokyo 2020, with street and park events. We were part of the Road to Paris championship for street skateboarders (World Street Skateboarding Rome 2022) that started at the iconic skatepark in Colle Oppio right before the Colosseum in Rome, in 2022, and then we had our athletes competing in Tokyo, Lausanne, San Juan, Dubai, Sharjah, and Ostia, a district in Rome. Over the last four years, the level of competitions has increased exponentially, and we look forward to an amazing show at the Place de la Concorde, the venue of all the urban sports disciplines (Basketball 3x3, BMX Freestyle, Breaking, Skateboarding Street and Skateboarding Park) for the Paris 2024 Olympics.

滑板项目在2020东京奥运会上完成了首秀，共设有碗池赛和街式赛两个小项。世界轮滑联合会为其第二次奥运之旅——巴黎奥运会也做了大量准备工作。2022年，我们参加了通往巴黎奥运的资格赛（2022年罗马世界街式滑板赛）。比赛在罗马斗兽场前著名的科勒欧皮奥滑板公园拉开帷幕。随后我们的运动员在东京、洛桑、圣胡安、迪拜、沙迦以及罗马的奥斯蒂亚地区参加了其他各项赛事。在过去的四年中，滑板运动的竞赛水准节节攀高，我们期待在2024年巴黎奥运会中，运动员们能够在协和广场大放异彩。除滑板碗池赛和街式赛外，协和广场也是三人篮球、自由式小轮车、霹雳舞等所有城市运动项目的比赛场地。

Maintaining momentum post-Olympics

保持势头，乘奥运之东风

The inclusion of skateboarding in the Olympics has undoubtedly boosted its popularity. World Skate plans to sustain this momentum through various means. Skateboarding has a history that spans different generations, and today it mainly excites the very young and families. Both figures on social media and the number of athletes' followers show a steady growth. Our goal is to continue, through the World Skateboarding Tour, to bring this sport to the center of cities, among young people. The competition facilities will be left to the host cities as a legacy for local communities. In this way, the sport grows and so does its popularity in every corner of the globe.

滑板运动被列入奥运会项目无疑促进了这项运动的受欢迎程度。世界轮滑联合会将借此东风，通过各种努力，保持这一良好态势。滑板运动历经几代人的发展，如今尤其受到年轻人和很多家庭的喜爱。在社交媒体上，滑板话题的热度和运动员的粉丝数都实现了稳步增长。我们的目标是通过世界滑板巡回赛，将这项运动带去城市中心，带到年轻人身旁。赛后，场地设施将留给主办城市，作为当地的社区遗产存留下来。得益于此，滑板运动已然在世界的各个角落生根发芽，知名度持续攀升。

Engaging the youth

青春魅力，吸引青年参与

The accessibility, urban appeal, and inclusivity of skateboarding have contributed to its growing popularity among young people. Young kids watch the world champions, are inspired by the athletes' skills, and buy skateboards. They begin to try and train their tricks, and if they have a skatepark near their homes – in addition to their dedication – they may become the champions of the future. The skateboarding community is also inclusive and always supportive; skaters support each other and encourage each other. It is a sport full of unique values, and this attracts young people and those that observe this sport from the outside.

滑板容易上手，包容性强，具有城市运动的独特魅力，因此在青少年中的流行度越来越高。许多孩子在看完滑板世界冠军精彩的比赛后，被运动员娴熟的技巧所激励，买下了属于自己的滑板。就这样，他们开始尝试各类技巧动作，一遍又一遍地练习，如果家附近还能有一个滑板公园，供他们专心致志地训练，没准未来的滑板冠军新星就这样诞生了。滑板爱好者社区也极具包容性，滑手们互相支持，为彼此加油打气。总而言之，滑板是一项彰显独特价值的运动，正因如此，它才受到众多青年朋友的追捧，也令许多“门外汉”跃跃欲试。

Nurturing young talent globally

青出于蓝，培育全球英才

World Skate is committed to nurturing young talent worldwide through various initiatives. It has several projects that aim to grow the global community. One is the Youth Athlete Development (YAD) program. With Olympic Solidarity, we helped athletes from disadvantaged countries to participate in the stops of our Olympic qualification tour. We firmly believe that the Olympic dream must be accessible to everyone.

世界轮滑联合会致力于通过多种计划，在全球范围内培养青年才俊。为扩大全球滑板社区，联合会发起了多个项目，青年运动员发展计划（YAD）就是其中一例。在奥林匹克团结基金的资助下，我们帮助欠发达国家的运动员参加奥运资格巡回赛。我们始终坚信，奥运的大门应该向所有人敞开。

Additionally, World Skate assists cities in building skateparks, which serve as vital community hubs. Another goal for World Skate is to help cities in the construction of skateparks: with a dedicated department, we support municipalities in designing their own skateparks to high quality and design standards. A skatepark changes the look of a city. We saw it in Ostia, where in a degraded neighborhood the skatepark took kids off the streets and brought them to practice sports. This is an unprecedented urban and social regeneration.

此外，世界轮滑联合会还协助多个城市建设滑板公园，它们成为重要的社区中心。联合会的另一个目标是直接参与这些滑板公园的建造过程，为此，我们下设有专门的部门，负责支持市政当局按照严格的设计标准设计出高质量的滑板公园。滑板公园能够改变一座城市的面貌，罗马的奥斯蒂亚地区便是一个生动的案例。这里曾是一个相对陈旧的社区，然而在滑板公园建成后，孩子们不再热衷于终日在街头玩耍，而是兴致勃勃地参与运动，这前所未有地促进了城市和社会的复兴进程。

An inspiring story

鼓舞人心，一个励志故事

There is a particularly inspiring story that underscores the impact of World Skate's initiatives. Thanks to our supporting activities and the YAD program, the Olympic dream of a Colombian athlete, Jazmin Alvarez, became a reality. She had to fight against male chauvinism in her city district, which prevented her from practicing skateboarding. She spent one year in our program and achieved an amazing result by qualifying for the Paris 2024 Olympics!

有一个特别鼓舞人心的故事见证了世界轮滑联合会人才培养计划带来的积极影响。贾斯敏·阿尔瓦雷茨来自哥伦比亚，是一位滑板爱好者，然而，她曾由于所在社区中男性沙文主义者的阻挠，无法继续练习滑板。我们给予了她支持，并将其纳入了联合会的青年运动员发展计划，一年过后，贾斯敏以惊人的成绩取得了2024年巴黎奥运会的参赛资格，她的奥运梦成真了！

It is clear that the efforts of World Skate are not only preparing athletes for the Olympic competition but also fostering a vibrant and inclusive global skateboarding community.

世界轮滑联合会不仅在为滑板运动员们的参赛做足准备，同时，我们也在孜孜不倦地打造一个充满活力和包容性的全球滑板社区。
