Sky Brown wins skateboarding park bronze for Team GB at Paris 2024 Olympics
Team GB’s Sky Brown overcame a shoulder injury to claim Olympic bronze in a thrilling women’s skateboarding park final in Paris.
Brown, 16, was seen clutching the left shoulder she dislocated last week after a heavy fall during Tuesday’s preliminary round.
But a sensational final run of 92.31 ensured she added to the bronze she collected in Tokyo, when she became GB’s youngest medallist aged 13 years and 28 days.
“I feel like this made my story,” Brown said.
“I felt the adrenaline and was just hyped up. I didn’t even think about it.”
Australia’s Arisa Trew, 14, took gold at Place de la Concorde with 93.18, as Japan’s Kokona Hiraki also repeated her result from three years ago, scoring 92.63 for silver.
A new winner had been guaranteed after defending champion Sakura Yosozumi failed to advance earlier in the day.
And Trew, who was sporting her trademark pink helmet, superbly executed a high-risk and high-speed final round to become the youngest medallist at Paris 2024.
