hopes for the Tokyo Olympics have been raised dramatically by a heroic group of young women who hockeyed their way to World Cup glory and a 400m hurdler by the name of Thomas Barr who’s just won a European bronze. But there is another sport making its debut in 2020. I pass the skateboard park in Fairview every day and judging by their kick flips, and toe flips we are world contenders! Roll on Tokyo.
