Nyora’s Keefer Wilson nabs spot in Olympic skateboard final

1 min read
Nyora's Keefer Wilson gets plenty of air as he smashes his way into the men's skateboard park final.

NYORA'S Keefer Wilson has defied a global park ranking of 25 to nail down a place in the hotly contested men's skateboard final at Paris Olympics kicking off at 1.30am Thursday morning after three spectacularly consistent runs scoring 81.70, 88.60 and 90.10.

One of the younger men in the Skateboard Park finals line up at 17 years-of-age Keefer put on a spectacular display for the crowds in heat four, completing all three runs in full and landing in fifth place overall.

Keefer joins fellow Aussie Keegan Palmer who qualified in first position for the final.

As a result, Keefer looms as a medal chance when the finals start in little more than an hour's time.
