Skateboarding made its Olympic debut in Tokyo, and along with some incredible feats of agility the event was marked by at least one moment that made nearly everyone wince.

Amazingly, Narvaez got back up... got back into the competition... and made it to the finals, where he finished fifth.
Japan’s Yuto Horigome won the the gold.

This is Peruvian skateboarder Angelo Caro Narvaez. Just figured that if we're all going to see the poor guy nutshot himself in the Olympics, we should be able to know his name and wish him well. pic.twitter.com/ghHmtz0HOO
