Fourteen-year-old Coco Yoshizawa booked her ticket to the Paris Games as she led a Japanese podium sweep in the women's street skateboarding final of the Olympic Qualifier Series in Budapest on Sunday.
With a place at the games on the line, Yoshizawa leapt from fourth to first place by nailing her final trick of the competition in the Hungarian capital. She totaled 270.29 points to edge reigning world champion Yumeka Oda on 268.52, with Tokyo Olympic bronze medalist Funa Nakayama scoring 263.62 for third.
Liz Akama, who clinched her Olympic spot in the previous day's semifinal, earned 262.50 for fourth.
Nakayama also secured one of the three Olympic quotas amid fierce competition between Japanese athletes that saw both Oda and Tokyo Games gold medalist Momiji Nishiya miss out.
Japan earlier swept the men's street podium, with Yuto Horigome winning the competition and earning a chance to defend his Tokyo Games gold medal.
Sakura Yosozumi, the reigning Olympic champion in women's park skateboarding, qualified for the Paris Games via her world ranking despite missing out on the final.
Olympic quotas were also up for grabs in breaking and sport climbing on Day 4 of the qualifying series in Budapest.
Japan swept the women's breaking podium, with winner Ami Yuasa and runner-up Ayumi Fukushima claiming Olympic berths, but third-place Riko Tsuhako missing out.
Miho Nonaka, the women's combined climbing silver medalist at the Tokyo Games, will have a shot at her second straight Olympic podium after qualifying with a second-place finish behind Brooke Raboutou of the United States.
