The X Games Osaka 2025 kicked off with a thrilling Day 1 at the Kyocera Dome in Japan, launching the first leg of back-to-back X Games events. Featuring six adrenaline-fueled finals, the day was marked by teenage dominance, first-time wins, and unforgettable home-soil performances from Japanโ€™s top action sports athletes.

Womenโ€™s Skateboard Vert: Arisa Trew Makes History

Opening the day on International Go Skateboarding Day, Womenโ€™s Skateboard Vert made its Japanese debut. All eyes were on Arisa Trew, who delivered a near-flawless second run to secure her third consecutive Vert gold with a score of 86.77. Her victory ties her with Leticia Bufoni for the most X Games womenโ€™s skateboard gold medals at six.

BMX Park: Rim Nakamura Takes First Gold on Home Soil

Kyotoโ€™s Rim Nakamura ignited the dome with a commanding performance in BMX Park, landing technical combos like a tailwhip catch tailwhip and 720. His gold marks the first-ever Japanese BMX gold medal at X Games, a triumph over defending champion Marcus Christopher (USA), who settled for silver. Franceโ€™s Anthony Jeanjean rounded out the podium with his first X Games medal.

Womenโ€™s Skateboard Street: Chloe Covell Dominates

At just 15, Chloe Covell from Australia continues to make history, grabbing her third X Games gold in Womenโ€™s Street with a 90.00 first run. Her standout trick? A kickflip manual on a 36-foot plexiglass roof that wowed the Osaka crowd.

Japanโ€™s Miyu Ito stayed consistent with another silver, while Ibuki Matsumoto, a 13-year-old late entrant, earned a surprise bronze.

Menโ€™s Skateboard Vert: Gui Khury Extends His Legacy

Brazilโ€™s Gui Khury proved unstoppable again, earning his sixth X Games gold and twelfth overall medalโ€”all before turning 18.
