The Olympics have hijacked F1! The glorious festival of sports has spared no one. From Lewis Hamilton to Fred Vasseur, everybody has indulged themselves in the greatest sporting event. They are cheering for their country’s heroes and also appreciating the outstanding victories of winners from different countries. Lando Norris has finally joined the party. The McLaren driver seems particularly interested in skateboarding. Why? Because his quadrant team member was competing for gold.

Like most F1 drivers, Lando Norris took to social media to congratulate the winner of the park skateboarding event. Norris shared a celebratory post on his Instagram Story for Australian skateboarder Keegan Palmer. The Brit shared a snap of Palmer with an exaggerated version of ‘Keegan’ as the caption and tagged the 21-year-old prodigy.

The USA is considered the powerhouse of park skateboarding. This is because they have the most medals in the event. However, Keegan’s brilliant performance and flair ousted America’s Gold medal dreams. And such a victory is worth celebrating. Lando Norris was rooting for the young Aussie to take the top spot and when he did, Norris couldn’t keep his content.

Keegan Palmer keeps his Olympic win streak alive at the Paris Olympics

Keegan Palmer was Lando Norris’ ‘star boy’ today. The Aussie superstar won gold in park skateboarding again at the Paris 2024 Olympics, scoring 93.11 in his final run. The day before, Arisa Trew’s gold in the women’s event gave Australia a double win in park skateboarding. He led in the prelims Wednesday and then throughout the finals after posting the top score on the first of his three runs. Keegan’s performance wowed the crowd at the Place de la Concorde. Moreover, Palmer continues his Olympic streak. His first gold medal came in Tokyo in 2020 (held in 2021), when he was just 17.

Palmer won gold with his first run score, despite falling on his final runs. Tom Schaar secured silver with a 92.23 on his second run, and Augusto Akio took bronze with a 91.85 on his final run. Akio also entertained the crowd by juggling before the prelims and performing a trick with his skateboard in his mouth. Moreover, an A-lister crowd, including skateboarding legend Tony Hawk, Snoop Dogg, and U.S. basketball star Devin Booker, witnessed the young Australian star in his prime.

Lando Norris’ cheering will be a great celebration gift for the ‘Prince of Park’. Continuing his stint of winning gold medals, Keegan Palmer has elevated the tone of the Paris Olympics 2024. Given how young he is, there is surely more he has to offer to his audience. Just like Lando, Keegan is also an entertainer and their skills enthrall the crowd.
