Poe Pinson , a 19-year-old skateboarder from Fernandina Beach, Florida, is set to make her Olympic debut at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Pinson, who began skateboarding at the age of two, will compete in the women's street event, marking a significant milestone in Nassau County sports history.

Pinson's journey to the Olympics is a testament to her dedication and passion for the sport. Despite skateboarding not being an Olympic sport when she first started, Pinson's talent and hard work have paid off. She was among the alternates for the Tokyo Olympics, where skateboarding made its debut, but did not make the cut. However, strong performances leading up to the Paris Olympics earned her one of three berths on the American women's street team.

According to Jacksonville.com , Pinson wasn't sure whether she would make the cut until after the final Olympic qualifying event in Budapest, Hungary, near the end of June. Then, she got a message from Whitney Carter , who organizes skateboarding under the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee, hinting that good news was on the way.

Pinson's family and friends are eagerly awaiting her performance at the Olympics. Her father, Kenny Pinson , has already arranged a rental in Paris near the Louvre, and fans at home are preparing watch parties for the Olympic qualifying round. Fernandina Beach has even scheduled a parade for two weeks after her planned return from France.
