Jagger Eaton smiles after winning the silver medal in the men’s skateboard street final at the 2024 Summer Olympics, Monday, July 29, 2024, in Paris, France. PARIS – If you happen to be golfing at Del Mar Country Club in the coming months, and you see a large, shiny, silver object on the green ahead, that belongs to skateboarder Jagger Eaton.Eaton is an avid golfer, one of those freakish athletes who picked up clubs a few years ago and has already lowered his handicap into the low single digits.

Eaton grew up in Mesa, Ariz., but moved to the area to nurture his prodigious talent. Huston lives in San Clemente and makes weekly trips south to the California Training Facility in Vista or North County skateparks. Russell grew up in St. Louis, where he was drawn to the sport after finding a skateboard in a bush as a 4-year-old, before coming west. He has been accepted to USD as a student but deferred enrollment until August 2025.

And it’s no ordinary family. Both Eaton’s parents were competitive gymnasts who fell short of qualifying for U.S. Olympic teams. “He brings it. It’s not like he’s just listening to coaches. He’s the one who instigates this regimen and it shows.”
