STREET LEAGUE SKATEBOARDING (SLS) REVEALS COURSE AND ROSTER FOR TOKYO CHAMPIONSHIP TOUR EVENT ON SATURDAY NOVEMBER 23

Last SLS Event Before the Super Crown Features Both Men’s and Women’s Japanese Olympic Skateboarding Gold Medalists Yuto Horigome and Coco Yoshizawa Along with Rayssa Leal, Sora Shirai, Dashawn Jordan, Giovanni Vianna, Chloe Covell and More

Street League Skateboarding (SLS) has announced a world-class roster of skateboarders to compete in Tokyo for the penultimate stop on the Championship Tour. The competition marks the final event ahead of the Super Crown, the highly anticipated season finale of the SLS Championship Tour, held on December 14-15th in São Paulo, Brazil. Results in Tokyo will determine which skaters secure a spot on the Super Crown roster, with the top three earning a direct path to the Super Crown finals.

Both men’s and women’s Olympic gold medalists and hometown heroes, Yuto Horigome (JPN) and Coco Yoshizawa (JPN), headline a star-studded roster and will be looking to perform in front of a vocal local audience at Ariake Arena. Horigome and Yoshizawa headline nine Japanese skaters competing in front of their home audience, including last month’s SLS Sydney champion, Sora Shirai. 

A star-studded international field will also descend on Tokyo for their shot at the title, with 2023 Super Crown champions Rayssa Leal (BRA) and Giovanni Vianna (BRA), SLS Sydney winner Chloe Covell (AUS) and SLS San Diego champion Braden Hoban (USA) joining the likes of an in-form Chris Joslin, as well as fan favorites Dashawn Jordan, Felipe Gustavo and Jamie Foy, for a formidable lineup.

Tickets are still available for purchase with packages starting at ¥4,400 on https://www.streetleague.jp/.
