X GAMES 2026:
THE NEW REIGN
The records are falling. The legends are watching. San Diego witnesses the youngest podium sweep in the history of extreme sports.
The 13-Year-Old Gold
The atmosphere at the San Diego Waterfront Park was electric as Zane Rivers took his final run. In a field dominated by seasoned Olympians, Rivers performed with a level of calm that defied his age. His gold-medal run included a flawless combination of technical ledge work and high-impact rail tricks.
“I just wanted to show the world what the new generation is working on,” Rivers said during the medal ceremony. “The older guys paved the way, but we’re building the skyscrapers now.”
