PARIS — Japan's Yuto Horigome is a back-to-back Olympic gold medalist in men's street skateboarding after scoring a nearly perfect 97.08 on his fifth and final trick to pass Americans Jagger Eaton and Nyjah Huston. Horigome finished just 0.1 points ahead of Eaton. Huston took home the bronze, an improvement after a disappointing seventh-place finish three years ago in Tokyo when skateboarding made its Olympic debut.
