The Street skaters will kick into action in Rome from June 8 – 15 led by Paris 24 Olympians Chloe Covell and Shane O’Neill and World Ranked Top 30 athletes Tommy Fynn and Liv Lovelace.

Skate Australia Acting Chief Executive Officer, Alison Campbell said the Teams highlighted the incredible depth of skateboarding talent in Australia and the exciting future ahead for the sport down under.

“We have four debutants stepping on to the tour in Italy and several athletes who have come through the ranks of our inaugural Skate Australia Pathways Program along with our partner state institute talent ID programs, which is fantastic.”

“Coco Crafter (Park), Ellie Burrows (Street) and Chihiro Young (Park) have come through the QAS Youfor2032 Talent ID Program while Eddie Acres (NSWIS), Leo McCaughley (Street) and Jake Harvey (Park) have also been supported through the Skate Australia National Talent Development Program, SBP, which commenced in 2024” she said.

“While a small number of our World ranked Top 30 athletes have elected to sit out these events following the intensity of the 2024 Olympic year and qualification process, this team represents the pinnacle of Australian skateboarding talent, showcasing both our current stars and those ready to take the next step on their elite sport journey.”

Italy, Japan and the USA will all host WST stops, beginning in Ostia and Rome in June 2025 before heading to North America in September and then touching down in Asia at the end of November.

Both Italian events are part of the Pro Tour, meaning the results will contribute ranking points toward the World Skateboarding Ranking.
