Shane O’Neill has finished last in his street skateboarding heat, putting the Australian out of medal contention.
The 34-year-old scored 107.50 in qualifying and he was ranked 10th after the second of four heats, with only the top eight progressing to the final round.
O’Neill only managed a score of 16.50 from his two runs during heat one and that cruelled his chances.
He managed 91.00 on one of his five tricks, but that was all he landed in that section of the six-skater heat.
Midway through qualifying, American Jagger Eaton, the Tokyo street bronze medallist, led with 274.88.
O’Neill has a massive online following and he had plenty of crowd support at the Olympic skate park.
His early elimination comes a day after 14-year-old compatriot Chloe Covell finished an emotional eighth in the women’s street final.
