PARIS — Coco Yoshizawa and Liz Akama took gold and silver for Japan in women's street skateboarding at the Paris Olympics on Sunday and Brazil's Rayssa Leal got bronze to win her second medal in the sport. Akama was in first place after landing her first two tricks before Yoshizawa slid down the big rails on the course on her fourth trick attempt, earning a score of 96.49 to pass her teammate. The trick, which elicited gasps from the crowd, was given the highest score of the day.
