andy mcdonald's skateboarding olympic debut at the age of 51 ended in the park heats, but he called ither. he's considered a legend of the sport, inventing some of its tricks decades before skateboarding was introduced at the olympics at tokyo 2020. and he had the crowd on its feet in appreciation after all three of his runs. but his best run of 77.66 put him 18th out of 22, the gold eventually won by australia's keegan palmer, but great memories made for mcdonald. it was the experience of a lifetime. it really was just so enjoyable, so much fun and energy. the crowd got behind me because i'm the old guy, i guess. i don't know. it was surprising, actually. the crowd from the get—go, my very first run i was like, oh, all right. my dad taught me early on in my career, acknowledge the crowd, because i would always be like all right, here we go. when they cheer for you, acknowledge them. and it worked. the first round of the women's golf is done at le golf national in paris. great britain's charley hull had a day to forget. she put her first tee shot straight into the water, and then misse
