Indian Skater Abhishek Singh Shines at Asian Skateboarding Championships

India, 8 January 2026 — Indian skater Abhishek Singh delivered an impressive performance at the Asian Skateboarding Championships held in Singapore over the weekend. Singh secured a silver medal in the men's street category, marking a significant achievement for Indian skateboarding on the continental stage.

Singh, 22, showcased his skills against a competitive field of skaters from across Asia. His performance was highlighted by a series of complex tricks, including a flawless execution of a 'kickflip backside tailslide', which earned him high scores from the judges.

The championships, which took place from January 6 to 7, witnessed participation from over 100 athletes. The event is part of a broader effort to promote skateboarding in the region, particularly ahead of its inclusion in future major sporting events.

Singh's achievement is notable as skateboarding is still developing as a sport in India, with limited infrastructure and support. His success is seen as an inspiration for aspiring skaters and a boost to the sport's recognition in the country.

Abhishek Singh expressed his gratitude towards his coach and support team, stating, "This medal is not just mine but belongs to everyone who believed in me. It's a step forward for Indian skateboarding."

The next challenge for Singh and the Indian skateboarding community will be preparing for the upcoming World Skateboarding Championship, where Singh aims to compete against top skaters from around the globe.
