At first sight, Sky Brown may appear to be like any other 11-year-old crazy about skateboarding. However, spend a few minutes observing the young girl skating, and you will realize that she is no ordinary skater, but a prodigy. In addition to winning the gold at the United Kingdom National Skateboarding Championship in 2019, she is currently ranked third in the world.
These achievements, along with a bronze medal at the September 2019 Park World Skateboarding Championship held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, have all but guaranteed the young girl a spot in the four-person women's team representing the UK in the skateboarding competitions at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. If Brown, who will turn 12 shortly before the Tokyo Games» participates in the upcoming Olympics qualifying events and remains injury-free? she will become the youngest British Olympian at the Summer Games. The previous record was held by swimmer Margery Hinton, who was 13 years and 43 days old when she competed at the 1928 Olympics in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
When asked if she was nervous about her first Olympics> the girl said, "I don't feel nervous. It will be really cool to be the youngest Olympian. People might think you⁵re too young or that you can't do it, but I want to show that it's not about your size or age. I want to be in the Olympics to inspire other girls and show them you can do anything. I'm excited about Tokyo. I love Simone Biles' attitude. She just goes for it. It seems nothing can stop her."
The young girl desires to be a skateboarder, surfer and dancer, and even play the guitar when she grows up. However, for now? she is focusing on perfecting a new move——a backside 540, which involves spinning one and a half times towards the toes—for the Olympics. We have a feeling this young girl will be on the Olympic stage for many years to come!
