Sky Brown

At just 13, Sky Brown made history as Britain's youngest-ever Olympic medallist winning bronze in Women's Park Skateboarding at Tokyo 2020. Her journey to the top is nothing short of inspiring.

Born in Miyazaki, Japan, to a Japanese mother and British father, Sky started skateboarding at a young age and quickly became a prodigy in the sport. Her incredible talent, fearless attitude, and infectious energy captured the hearts of fans worldwide.

Sky's achievements extend beyond the Olympics, including notable wins at the X Games, where she secured a gold medal in 2021, and triumphs in the Dew Tour and Vans Park Series. Her career is marked by daring tricks and innovative maneuvers, such as the "kickflip indy" and the "frontside 540," which have become her signature moves.

In a triumphant return to the Olympics this year, Sky won bronze in the Women's Park Skateboarding finals at the 2024 Olympics, solidifying her status as a skating icon and a role model for young athletes everywhere.
