Sky Brown, who is 13 years and 28 days old, skated a calm last run to take bronze in the women’s park skateboarding final at the Tokyo Olympics.
She told BBC Sport, “It was a super crazy final.” “It was ridiculous because all the girls were ripping it.” This is astounding – it doesn’t seem possible! “I’m overjoyed to be here; I’m truly blessed.” It was clear that I had been bumped. I fell twice, which made the final run feel extra long.
Brown takes over as Britain’s youngest summer Games medalist from Sarah Hardcastle, who won silver and bronze in the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles at the age of 15 years and 113 days.
