What is WST World Cup Rome 2025?
WST World Cup Rome 2025 kicks off the new season of the World Skateboarding Tour along the sole pathway to Olympic qualification in both Park and Street.
The two-week skateboarding festival will see 2025’s first WST contests in both Park (1st-8th June) and Street (8th-15th June) at the waterfront Ostia Skatepark and Colle Oppio Skatepark overlooking the Colosseum respectively.
We will as ever be broadcasting live via WorldSkate TV from both the Semi-finals and Finals over those weekends as well as via digital syndication partners worldwide.

Who is entering WST World Cup Rome 2025?
Among the superstars of skateboarding in attendance for WST Rome World Cup 2025, we will be welcoming current and former World Champions as well as Olympic medalists from both the Tokyo and Paris Games!
You can expect to see former World Champion Sora Shirai (WSR:1st), and two-time Olympic gold medalist Yuto Horigome (WSR: 5th), the young prodigy Ginwoo Onodera (WSR ranking: 3rd), Olympians Pedro Barros (WSR ranking: 5th) and Tate Carew (WSR ranking: 3rd), current Women’s Park World Champion Raicca Ventura (WSR ranking: 3rd), current Men’s Street World Champion Toa Sasaki (WSR ranking: 4th),Olympians Nyjah Huston and Coco Yoshizawa as well as World Champion Rayssa Leal (WSR ranking: 3rd) and Olympian Chloe Covell.
Highly-anticipated Park star and Olympic gold medalist Arisa Trew (WSR ranking: 1st) will be among over 360 entrants from around the globe doing battle for those vital WSR points and their share of the whopping combined $400,000 prize purse split evenly between both divisions and disciplines!
What Is The World Skateboarding Tour?
The World Skateboarding Tour forms the road to the Olympic Games: the travelling Open contest series is organised and administered by World Skate as the official IOC- recognised governing body of skateboarding.
The WST allows skateboarders from anywhere in the world to enter and advance on merit through the World Skate Rankings to hopefully be crowned annual World Champion- or even an Olympic medallist.
The World Skateboarding Tour incorporates both World Cup and World Championship events in both Street and Park, all of which offer the opportunity to gather WSR ranking points toward qualification for future Olympic Games.
The WSR’s rolling 18-month results window going forward toward LA28 rewards consistency, while offering opportunities for new entrants to overcome point stockpiles accrued from previous years.

What Is The World Skateboarding Ranking?
As the leaderboard of the World Skateboarding Tour, the WSR establishes eligibility for skateboarders on the World Skateboarding Tour to progress into the Olympic Games every four years.
The World Skateboarding Tour has two current tiers of events: World Cup (formerly Pro Tour) events which are more frequent but with slightly lower point attribution, and annual World Championship events in both Street and Park which carry the highest point-weighting.
The WSR operates an 18- month rolling window of results which allows skateboarders to be ranked on recent performance (best previous maximum 4 events for Street, 3 for Park).
As a federation devoted to the principle of opportunity we are confident this dynamic rolling WSR scoring system will keep entrance into and progression from the World Skateboarding Tour active and relevant at every event we host in perpetuity into the future not just for LA28 but beyond.
