Olympic Games 2020: Skateboarding prodigy Sky Brown chasing history in Tokyo

Not many 11-year-olds have a goal of gaining selection for the Olympics, but Sky Brown's goals are beyond what you'd expect from someone her age.

It's her mission to be part of the team when her chosen sport debuts at next year's Olympic Games which has caught worldwide attention, and she'll make history if she can make it to Tokyo.

She's proven to have talent beyond her years and the ambition to match.

If she does crack her Olympic dream next year, she'll become the youngest Olympian in modern history.

To get there she has to remain in the top 20 in the world until selection next year. Currently 12th, she's right on track.

She won the UK Skateboarding Champs in April, sending a message to everyone who questioned her inclusion.
