Huston and Eaton were sitting in first and second following the street run portion of the competition. They dazzled the Paris crowd with their variety of tricks.

Horigome, meanwhile, was in fourth place. His score of 89.90 on his first run put him narrowly behind compatriot Sora Shirai (90.11).

The reigning gold medalist stormed back when the trick section got underway. His first attempt earned a 94.16 score to immediately apply pressure to Huston and Eaton.

The Americans eventually responded. Huston's 92.79 and 93.22 briefly put him into first before Eaton's 95.25 on his penultimate trick catapulted him to the top of the leaderboard.

That left Horigome with one more chance to defend his gold. He landed his trademark backside nollie 270 when it counted the most, a story fans have seen plenty of times before. That earned him a whopping 97.08 to nudge him past Eaton.

Neither Eaton nor Huston could land their trick on their fifth try, sealing Horigome's second Olympic gold.

To get so close and come up short is always frustrating, but the two can at least celebrate what was an improved showing from their outcomes in the Tokyo Games. Eaton went from the bronze to the silver, while Huston is an Olympic medalist for the first time. For the latter, his performance will have felt especially cathartic.

With men's street in the books, Japan is tied for the most gold medals (five) and has 11 medals overall. The United States bumped its total to 14 medals, which is the highest haul so far.
