Skateboarder Sky Brown, 13, said a life-threatening accident only made her stronger as she became Britain's youngest Olympic medallist on Wednesday -- and set her sights on doubling up with surfing in 2024.
Britain’s Sky Brown reacts during the women’s park final during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games at Ariake Sports Park Skateboarding in Tokyo on August 04, 2021.
Brown admitted there was a time when she did not know if she would skate at the Olympics, but that ultimately the “accident made me stronger”. “Sakura said, ‘You’ve got it Sky, I know you’re going to make it’, and that really made me feel better,” said Brown, who twice failed attempting a kickflip indy.
