World Skate, a privately owned organization headquartered in Switzerland, is the international governing body for roller sports. Founded in 1924, it currently employs approximately 90 people. As of 2023, its primary function is the oversight and regulation of various competitive skating disciplines.
World Skate announced a rule change, confirming that only athletes aged 14 or older will be allowed to compete in skateboarding at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics. This decision follows the nation's success with medalists as young as 12 and 13 in the Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Olympics, despite the absence of a local age limit. The organization noted the importance of maintaining high rankings in the World Skate Rankings (WSR), suggesting that a higher ranking reduces the frequency of competition and the risk of injury. During a World Skateboarding Tour event on the Italian coastline, both 2023 World Champion Gavin Bottger and his American teammate Liam Pace were eliminated before the semifinals.
