The men's park skateboarding was off the hook.
I love the Olympics. So many sports I have yet to master.
Watching all those athletes killing it from my couch makes me feel lazy.

Team USA has extended its lead in the overall medal race with 84 to China's 71, while the Russian Olympic Committee is third with 53.
However, China is still tops when it comes to gold with 32 to 27 for Team USA, while host country Japan is in third with 21.
One of those U.S. gold medals came courtesy of Nevin Harrison, who made history as the first female from the U.S. to win the canoe 200 sprint race.
Also taking gold for the U.S. was Ryan Crouser, who broke his own Olympic record in the shot put.
There were also some disappointments, as the U.S. men's 4 x 100 relay team failed to advance to the finals. (ESPN)
