Sky Brown, Skateboarder

Sky Brown was just four years old when her father posted a recording of her skateboarding to social media. The video went viral. Soon, the young girl began competing in skateboarding competitions around the world, often against skaters much bigger and older than she was. She also began winning. And winning. When Great Britain assembled its first Olympic skateboarding team, Sky was named part of it. She became the nation’s youngest summer Olympic medalist, and a worldwide favorite. Part of the Women Blazing the Trail series, Sky Brown, Skateboarder tells the story of a young woman determined to reach the top of a sport long dominated by men.
