By the time skateboarder Sky Brown is 12 she might equal the record as the youngest athlete ever to compete in a Summer Olympics Games.
Sky Brown, 10, lives in Japan but hopes to represent Britain in skateboarding at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, She competed this week at the Dew Tour Long Beach at the Long Beach Convention Center.
In the skating world, little Sky Brown is a very big deal — a girl who by the time she is 12 might equal the record as the youngest athlete to compete in a Summer Olympics.Right now, Sky is 10, a child prodigy who has an endorsement deal with Nike, close to 400,000 followers on Instagram and more than 6 million views on a YouTube channel she shares with her little brother, Ocean.
“I think the possibility of any of our G.B. riders qualifying, I think it just gives the U.K. an opportunity to improve skateboarding's infrastructure, maybe to increase funding, and basically just for her to leave quite a bit of a legacy,” said British skateboarding team manager, Darren Pearcy. “[She could] really inspire future generations from the UK as well as across the world.”
Brown thinks surfing might be an example. Sky’s daily routine usually begins in the ocean at dawn, near the family’s home in Japan. After school, where she has taken up an interest in the recorder during music class, Sky often hits the waves again. The days the surf is bad is when she’ll skate instead.
