SKATEBOARDER FRACTURES SKULL

Eleven-year-old skateboarder Sky Brown, pictured, who is hoping to become Britain’s youngest Olympian next year, fractured her skull and broke bones in her left hand after falling from a ramp during a training session in California. Brown posted a video of the accident on Instagram and reassured supporters she was doing fine and was going to work even harder when she returns. “I don’t usually post (videos of ) my falls or talk about them ... but this was my worst fall. I just want everyone to know that it’s OK, don’t worry, I’m OK,” she said. “I’m going to push boundaries for girls with my skating and surfing. I’m going for gold in 2021 and nothing will stop me.” At the 2021 Tokyo Games, Brown is hoping to eclipse the record set by swimmer Margery Hinton, who was 13 years and 43 days old when she competed at the 1928 Olympics in Amsterdam.
