Angelo Caro Suffers Nasty Blow to the Groin in Olympic Skateboard Qualifying
Angelo Caro, competing in the men’s street division, went a little too far on his first run of the day in an effort to make a good impression.
His fall from his board after slipping off the end of the rail was slow motion, and while it may have looked like a simple stack at first.
He ended up crashing groin-first into the end of the rail behind him.
Caro appeared unharmed despite colliding with the metal rail with surprising force.
He got up slowly, dusted himself off, and gathered his thoughts in preparation for a second run.
Which would determine whether or not he made it to the finals by making up for his misstep in the first.

His first run earned him a score of 1.01 out of 10, but his second run, which he salvaged with a series of strong tricks.
Earned him a 6.96 and seventh place in the heats, good enough to advance him to the finals.
