Tokyo welcomes Skateboarding, Surfing, Sport Climbing and 3X3 Basketball into this summer’s medal count, and with them a whole culture of urban and action sports. We explore these new-school events and how their development outside of the games could actually make them the perfect embodiments of old-school Olympic values. 

 Let Todd Richards take you through the evolution of boardsports with input from riders like Nyjah Huston, Kolohe Andino and Heimana Reynolds, feel the gritty excitement of 3X3 with Kareem Maddox and Robbie Hummel, and elevate your climbing knowledge through Colin Duffy and Brooke Raboutou's vertical prowess. 

Join host Lauren Shehadi for Season 2 of NBC Sports’ The Podium.
