Alongside surfing, skiing, and swimming, another sport starting with ‘S’ has not refused the limelight since its inception. Skateboarding, though familiar as a recreational activity, secures the most coveted Olympic seat as well. At the Tokyo Olympics 2020, the youngest gun stunned everyone with her master strokes. She’s none other than Sky Brown, who has pledged to take her passion to greater heights.

The then 13-year-old was part of the bronze-winning team at the 2020 Summer Games. 4 years later, she’s back at it again with another achievement under her belt. Now, the exuberant 15-year-old, free of ego, who’s known for her unusual skills in the competitive arena, is only eyeing the gold. Let’s take a look at how passion propels.

Skateboarding youngster enjoys her sport

Going candid with the hosts of the Today Show, Brown’s primary motive was to promote her newest book, “The Life-Changing Magic of Skateboarding”. The children’s book represented her life story, highlighting her natural talent for skating from a young age. When inquired, “How has skateboarding changed your life?”, it looked like she had the answer rubbed on her lips. Said, “It changed my life in so many different ways. It’s my favorite thing, my favorite toy”. 

She continued, “When I’m skating, it’s my playground. I get to express myself through it. I just have so much fun through it and I don’t know what life would be without it”. While speaking about her book, she said that she couldn’t have inspired the enthusiastic crowd in a better way. Her penchant for storytelling has finally taken shape. Despite being the youngest in the team, some things set her apart.

Inside the life of Sky Brown

A young gun of 15 or 16 talking like a professional in her mid-20s or 30s is unlikely. But the way Brown perceives things has planted a dream in her. “I like to make skateboarding look beautiful. To me, it’s like a dance routine and I just want to make it look flowy but powerful as well,” she stated. Popular for pulling off Japan Air, the little girl defies gravity better than her seniors.

Though she missed out on one chance to qualify for the 2024 Summer Games, there are more qualifying events laid out. Coached by Dad and YouTube, the self-sufficient youngster shares a passion for surfing too. When she’s not skating, fans see her chasing waves. Even if she doesn’t qualify this year, she’s optimistic for LA 2028.
