The second edition of World Skate's Scooter World Championships gets underway today with open qualifiers.

Men's and women's world titles are on offer in both the street and park disciplines.

A venue at Parc del Forum has been designed specifically for the event, and finals are scheduled for Sunday (September 26).

The 2019 World Roller Games - also held in Barcelona - featured World Skate's first-ever Scooter World Championships, and top finishers at the event qualified directly for the semi-finals at this year's edition.

American Jonmarcco Gaydos won the men' park contest - scoring 90.80 points in the final compared to 90.60 for compatriot Chris Farris.

Another American, Rebeca Oriz, won the women's park title.

The International Scooter Federation - formally the International Scooter Association - worked with World Skate in 2019, but this year plans to hold its own World Championships in December.
