The Big Picture: Skateboarding at FDR Park, the World Cup arrives, and the best Philly sports photos of the week

Caroline Duerr of Brielle, N.J., skates in an early heat during the sixth annual "Queen Of The Park" women's skateboarding event on Saturday at FDR Park. Duerr, formerly of South Philly, won the competition in 2021.

Each Friday, Inquirer photo editors pick the best sports images from the last seven days. This week featured action from South Philly to Center City and from Fairmount to Camden. There was Eagles minicamp and, of course, some Phillies action. There was a skate contest in FDR Park and FIFA Fan Fest kicked off in Lemon Hill Park. And across the river, the Sixers introduced their new top executive.

Here’s a look back at some of our favorite photos from the week:
