      The first-ever Olympic Qualifier Series event in Shanghai, People’s Republic of China, was a big hit amongst athletes and fans, and there is eager anticipation for the second stop in Budapest, Hungary, next month - the final chance to qualify for Paris 2024. Four days of world-class competition took place in an urban park in Shanghai across four sports - skateboarding, BMX freestyle, sport climbing and breaking - with 460 athletes chasing precious qualifying points for the Olympic Games. The vibrant festival-style event mixed sport, art, fashion and culture for 45,000 spectators, who were able to try the sports in an immersive experience.
