13-year-old British Skateboarder, Sky Brown will make her Olympic debut at Tokyo Olympics 2020. Along with her, Skateboarding is making its debut as an Olympic sport as well. Last year, Brown had a terrifying fall and suffered a skull fracture that could have been fatal.

“It was very bad. It was a very hard time. It was really bad. I heard if I moved a little differently that could have been it – I could have died,” Brown said.
Even her father said that she was lucky to survive the fall. And Brown also admitted it was her worst fall, however, she wanted to come back and participate in the Olympics and other events. But to even think about the fall is tough because at that time Brown was only 11 years old.
“It was a really bad time. I couldn’t see my brother the whole time and it felt so long when I was in the hospital too, even though it was for like a week or something. I got out of the hospital really fast. I got really lucky, I recovered super fast and I’m so thankful,” Brown added.
