Tony Hawk is one of the most sought-after sportspeople in the field of skateboarding. The 54-year-legend, who has been an inspiration for many, has expanded his fandom over the years. Even after achieving such great heights, Tony once had to justify his stardom on social media. Margielyn Didal, a rising skateboard player once posted a picture with Tony Hawk that ignited the flames of controversy. MARGIELYN’S PICTURE CREATED THE CONTROVERSY Last year Margielyn shared a picture from her social media handle with Tony Hawk [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tony-hawk/]. However, she wanted to give it a humorous twist. She sarcastically wrote a caption “This guy asked me to take a photo with him And I let him because he looked like Tony Hawk.” This post received people’s attention and reactions. While some people loved watching the two stars together, a part of the audience couldn’t understand the humor behind the message. People started taking a dig at Tony Hawk’s stardom. Tony himself had to come up with an explanation when the water flowed over his head. Life But Never Felt the Need to ‘Fit In’ [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-olympic-news-skateboarding-news-dont-just-fade-away-anti-drugs-icon-tony-hawk-lived-a-glamorous-life-but-never-felt-the-need-to-fit-in/] He tweeted the same photo, explaining the reason for Margielyn’s caption. He recounted similar questions in an interview that went along these lines, “How does it feel to go to the Olympics and not be recognized by competing skaters, like Margielyn Didal?”. Tony further added that the caption was supposed to have a hidden sarcastic meaning that people couldn’t understand. “I had to explain that she was joking with her caption. My life is weird.” he wrote. TONY HAWK HAS ALWAYS APPRECIATED FUNNY FANS INTERACTIONS He has long been recording his funny interactions with strangers. However, the legend has always taken it light-heartedly [https://coconuts.co/manila/news/margielyn-didal-tony-hawk-skateboarding-olympics-tokyo/]. His supporters now make fun of it frequently, but one person genuinely took it seriously. Tony has maintained a healthy and co-existing bond with both his fans and trolls. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Tony-Hawk.png] Tony Hawk is undisputedly the best skateboarder of all time. The legendary skateboarder was the National Skateboard Association world champion for 12 consecutive years. What are your opinions about Tony Hawk’s response? Do let us know in the comment box.

Like the previous years, the Paris Olympics in 2024 will not be an exception. The game will include a number of new elements. However, this year, the inclusion of breaking as an official sport at the Paris 2024 Olympics marks a significant moment in recognizing urban dance culture within the global sports community. 

Breaking, originating from the streets of the Bronx in the 1970s, has evolved into a highly skilled and respected art form, embodying athleticism, creativity, and cultural expression.

However, the decision to include Breaking in the Paris 2024 Olympics underscores the evolving nature of the Olympic Games, embracing new forms of athleticism and cultural significance. As Breaking athletes, known as B-Boys and B-Girls, prepare to showcase their talent on the world stage, the event promises to captivate audiences with its dynamic energy and creativity.

With La Concorde set as the backdrop for the Breaking competition, spectators can anticipate an electrifying atmosphere as competitors engage in intense 1v1 battles to the rhythm of random beats curated by a DJ. This fusion of music, movement, and competition embodies the spirit of Breaking, celebrating its roots in hip-hop culture while embracing its evolution as a recognized sport.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Paris Olympics 2024 logo</h2>
The Paris Olympics 2024 logo is composed of five indivisible elements. These elements also reflect our ideal actions and show who we are. However, for the first time in history, the Olympics and Paralympics will use the same emblem as logos. 

The Paris Olympics 2024 symbol is a combination of three separate elements: the gold medal, the flame, and Marianne (the female figure representing the French Republic). 
<h2 style="text-align: center">Paris Olympic 2024 Mascot</h2>
The Paris 2024 Olympic mascot is named "Olympic Phryg," inspired by the Phrygian cap, a symbol of freedom and revolution. It represents allegorical figures of the French Republic, embodying the values of liberty, equality, and also fraternity. The choice of the mascot reflects the spirit of the Olympic Games and the cultural significance of France. However, this year a pair named "Les Phryges" will represent the Olympics as mascots. 
<h2 style="text-align: center">What to expect from the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony</h2>
The Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony promises to be unique and memorable. The opening ceremony will feature a spectacular floating parade along the Seine River. Athletes representing 200 countries will board 100 boats for a 3.7-mile journey. This parade will offer a visually stunning and symbolic start to the Olympic Games.

The parade route will wind past significant landmarks in Paris, including the National Library and the Cathedral of Notre Dame. The floating parade symbolizes unity and cooperation among nations as they celebrate the Olympic spirit. 

After the river parade, athletes will gather in a stadium in the Trocadero park to light the Olympic Flame. 

Overall, the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony promises to be a grand and innovative spectacle. It will be a momentous occasion that captures the world's attention and sets the stage for an unforgettable Olympic Games.
<h2 style="text-align: center">How to get tickets for Paris Olympics 2024  </h2>
Paris Olympics 2024 tickets are on sale to everyone worldwide. However, they are sold on a "first come, first served" basis. Anyone can buy the tickets through the official Paris 2024 website. Many sessions are already sold out, as people are crazy to be part of this prestigious Olympics and want to see their admiring champions competing. 

But there is nothing to worry about. New batches of tickets are regularly added so everyone can get the chance. However, the prices start at 24 euros (£21) for the Olympic events and 15 euros (£13) for the Paralympic games. 
<h2 style="text-align: center">How to watch the 2024 Paris Olympics</h2>
Though the Paris Olympics will go from July 26-Aug to 11, 2024, but the Opening Ceremony for the games will take place on July 26. There will be various events such as handball, rugby, soccer, and archery starting on July 24 and 25.

NBC and Peacock will broadcast live Olympic events, including finals in track, field, swimming, and gymnastics, both morning and afternoon. NBC will provide nine hours of daily daytime coverage. Also, there will be an enhanced three-hour primetime show in every night during the games. These will feature behind-the-scenes access, new technology, and athlete insights.

Also, Peacock will stream all sports and events live during the Summer Olympics, a first for the streaming service, alongside GOLF Channel, USA Network, Telemundo, CNBC, E!, and Universo.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Who is Tony Hawk? </h2>
What Michael Jordan is to basketball is Tony Hawk to skateboarding. One of the greatest skateboarders of all time, Hawk entertained the audience with his breathtaking skills. Likewise, he became the first person to perform a documented '900' skateboarding trick and has a licensed video game named after him. Moreover, he is one of the pioneers of skateboarding.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Tony Hawk’s early life </h2>
Born to Nancy and Frank Peter Rupert Hawk in San Diego, California on May 12, 1968, he entered the world of skateboarding when he was eight years old. Significantly, he got his first sponsor at the age of 12 from Dogtown Skateboards while turning a professional at the very young age of 14. Thus, his career as a skateboarder begins. By the age of 16, he became one of the best skateboarders in the world.
<h2 style="text-align: center">All about Tony Hawk’s wife Catherine Goodman and kids</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center">Tony Hawk’s net worth 2024</h2>
The legendary skateboard did not rest on his laurels as he became a very successful entrepreneur, thereafter. According to <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/skateboarders/tony-hawk-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Celebrity Net Worth</a>, it stands at $140 million. The skater started a skateboarding company named Birdhouse which produced many boards and accessories for the sport. He started a clothing firm in 1998 that aimed to provide skating clothes for children.

Apart from being a legendary skateboarder, Hawk's deal with Activision in 1998 cemented his legacy as one of the greats. By collaborating with the company, both of them launched the video games series 'Tony Hawk Pro Skater' which sold 1.4 billion games to date.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Tony Hawk’s career timeline</h2>
The legendary skateboarder became the National Skateboard Association world champion for 12 consecutive years; likewise, won 70 competitions in his career. Hawk invented many skateboarding moves like the gymnast plant, the ollie-to-Indy, the Saran wrap, and the frontside 540-rodeo flip.

However, things changed during the early 90s as skateboarding lost its charm. Hence, he was a pioneer in setting up Extreme Games (later X games) in 1995 as the sport got back its mojo. He <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/skateboarders/tony-hawk-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">won</a> 10 gold, three silver, and two bronze medals in the X Games. Thus, his major career- achievement came when he landed the first-ever documented 900 (skateboarder revolves 900 degrees in the air). Hawk took eleven years to do it and could not hide his excitement after that.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">
<div class="jsx-3245111776 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-3245111776" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-511497878.jpg" /></div>

</figcaption></figure>
After all the achievements, Hawk retired from competitive skateboarding but remained an advocate for most of the issues related to the sport. His success didn't stop there as he became the first person to gain approval on the grounds of the White House. The first-ever Hall of Ceremony of Skateboarding happened in 2009 as Hawk got inducted.

<h2 id="node---11759-figcap" style="text-align: center">Tony Hawk’s contract</h2>
</figcaption></figure>
Introducing Boom Boom HuckJam became significant as it was a live music show with sporting events on the side. He also appeared in many movies and TV shows like XXX, the entire?Jackass: The Movie?franchise,?The Simpsons,?The Masked Singer, and?Sharknado 5: Global Swarming.

He has invested in a lot of companies and struck smart deals with many of them. His investment with California's Blue Bottle Coffee chain proved to be a smart decision as the company got sold to Nestle for $500 million. Thus, all these investments made him a successful entrepreneur.

Tony Hawk: 2024 Net Worth, Salary, Wife, Achievements and more  via Getty Who is Tony Hawk?  What Michael Jordan is to basketball is Tony Hawk to skateboarding. One of the greatest skateboarders of all time, Hawk entertained the audience with his breathtaking skills. Likewise, he became the first person to perform a documented &#8216;900&#8217; skateboarding trick and has a licensed video game named after him. Moreover, he is one of the pioneers of skateboarding. Tony Hawk’s early life Born to Nancy and Frank Peter Rupert Hawk in San Diego, California on May 12, 1968, he entered the world of skateboarding when he was eight years old. Significantly, he got his first sponsor at the age of 12 from Dogtown Skateboards while turning a professional at the very young age of 14. Thus, his career as a skateboarder begins. By the age of 16, he became one of the best skateboarders in the world. All about Tony Hawk’s wife Catherine Goodman and kids Tony Hawk’s net worth 2024 The legendary skateboard did not rest on his laurels as he became a very successful entrepreneur, thereafter. According to Celebrity Net Worth, it stands at $140 million. The skater started a skateboarding company named Birdhouse which produced many boards and accessories for the sport. He started a clothing firm in 1998 that aimed to provide skating clothes for children. Apart from being a legendary skateboarder, Hawk&#8217;s deal with Activision in 1998 cemented his legacy as one of the greats. By collaborating with the company, both of them launched the video games series &#8216;Tony Hawk Pro Skater&#8217; which sold 1.4 billion games to date. Tony Hawk’s career timeline The legendary skateboarder became the National Skateboard Association world champion for 12 consecutive years; likewise, won 70 competitions in his career. Hawk invented many skateboarding moves like the gymnast plant, the ollie-to-Indy, the Saran wrap, and the frontside 540-rodeo flip. However, things changed during the early 90s as skateboarding lost its charm. Hence, he was a pioneer in setting up Extreme Games (later X games) in 1995 as the sport got back its mojo. He won 10 gold, three silver, and two bronze medals in the X Games. Thus, his major career- achievement came when he landed the first-ever documented 900 (skateboarder revolves 900 degrees in the air). Hawk took eleven years to do it and could not hide his excitement after that.  via Getty After all the achievements, Hawk retired from competitive skateboarding but remained an advocate for most of the issues related to the sport.
