TOKYO—Japanese 13-year-old Momiji Nishiya clinched the Olympic title in the women’s street skateboarding competition on Monday, shedding tears of happiness after nailing her final trick and becoming the country’s youngest-ever gold medal winner.
Nishiya came out on top of an unusually young field of competitors, with all three medalists in their teens. Brazilian silver medalist Rayssa Leal is also 13, while bronze medalist Funa Nakayama, also from Japan, is 16.
