Aged 11 she survived a near fatal skateboarding crash; at 12 she fractured her skull; at 13 she won bronze at Tokyo; at 15 she tore her knee and at 16 – little more than a week after dislocating her shoulder – Sky Brown took bronze again in the park skateboarding at Paris.
Brown and the 15-year-old Japanese skater Cocona Hiraki became the youngest athletes to win a medal at two Olympics in the park event at La Concorde on Tuesday, after being narrowly beaten by the 14-year-old Australian Arisa Trew to the gold.
