Skateboarding World Championships: Britain’s Sky Brown wins park gold

Britain’s Sky Brown has become a skateboarding world champion for the second time after winning gold in a rain-disrupted park event in Sao Paolo, Brazil.

The 17-year-old was leading the standings with a score of 88.16 on Sunday when organisers called off the final’s third run because of rain.

Japan’s Mizuho Hasegawa took silver with 84.36, while 83.90 was enough for American Minna Stess to claim bronze.

“The level is crazy. I had to put a lot down to get here, but I am definitely bummed how we couldn’t fully do a final,” Brown told World Skate.

“To win, to be a world champion on International Women’s Day definitely means a lot, but there are bigger things going on.

“This feels huge and I am so thankful but there are bigger things, I just pray for peace.”

Brown became Great Britain’s first skateboarding world champion at the age of 14 when she won park gold in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates in 2023.

She was also Britain’s youngest Olympic medal winner of all time, winning park bronze as a 13-year-old at the delayed Tokyo 2020 Games.
