Sky Brown: The 10-year-old British skateboarder aiming to make history at Tokyo 2020 Olympics

Sky Brown surfs, skateboards and dances, and hopes to become Britain’s youngest ever summer Olympian by appearing at the Tokyo Games next year – she’ll be just 12.

Born in Miyazaki, Japan, to a British father and Japanese mother, Sky was on Thursday named as part of Great Britain’s skateboarding team aiming for the Olympics.

And, although there is still the small matter of qualifying to overcome, Sky doesn’t seem to let barriers bother her.

“I just want to get out there, have fun and I don’t really know who I’m competing with or any of that stuff,” she told BBC Sport.

As you would expect from a surfer, Sky has a pretty laid-back attitude to life, but don’t let that fool you – she is as determined as they come.
