Jagger Eaton, 20, became the first American to take home an Olympic medal in skateboarding when he earned the bronze in the men's street event.
."When I got the opportunity three years ago to compete for my country, it blew my mind, and the fact that I'm able to sit up here with a bronze medal — I'm just the most ecstatic kid alive right now."Jagger Eaton of Team USA competes at the skateboarding men's street finals in Tokyo."Where am I going to put this medal? Well, I don’t have a house yet, so I’m going to give it to my mom and she can do what she likes with it," he quipped.
Eaton, who has competed in several national and international competitions, said that listening to music has always been an important part of his routine. He told Craig and Al that an eclectic playlist inspired him during his medal-winning run."The music I was listening to was a bit of new rap and a little bit of old country music," Eaton said.
