==Professional skateboarding==

===World Skateboarding Ranking===
Yuto Horigome ranked second in men's street on the [[World Skate]] (WS) World Skateboarding Olympic Rankings in June 2019, with 62,480 points. At that time, American [[Nyjah Huston]] topped the men's street rankings with 67,080 points.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.worldskate.org/skateboarding/results/category/594-olympic-world-skateboarding-ranking.html |title=Worldskate - Skateboarding & Roller Sports - Results - OLYMPIC WORLD SKATEBOARDING RANKING |date=2019-07-30 |access-date=23 August 2019 |archive-date=26 July 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210726051031/http://www.worldskate.org/skateboarding/results/category/594-olympic-world-skateboarding-ranking.html |url-status=dead}}</ref>
 
As the 2020 Olympic Games were postponed for a year and the number of skateboarding events in 2020 was significantly reduced due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], the WS Olympic Rankings for June 2021 included points earned from events in the 1 January–30 September 2019 season and the 1 October 2019 – 30 June 2021 season. In the June 2021 men's rankings, Horigome remained in second place, with 249,200 points, behind Huston's 269,900 points.<ref name="WSOlyRank" />
