Beloved readers, as you all know, skateboarding has made its official debut at the Tokyo Olympics.
Most of us may not know too much about the high-intensity yet somehow also laid-back sport, and we're just here for the fun of it. Oh, and the sick outfits and equally sick athletes.
And also moments like this — which are just absolutely wild to behold by someone (like me) who can barely hold their own on a Penny board.
Without further ado, here are some of the funniest reactions to skateboarding's debut at the Olympics, for your viewing pleasure:
1.

2.
"Sk8er Boi" by Avril Lavigne is the national anthem that should have been played during the Olympic skateboarding medal ceremony
A grave missed opportunity occurred here.
