The British skater landing bronze in skateboarding behind Japanese duo, Kokona Hiraki (silver) and Sakura Yosozumi (gold). Brown was outside the medal spots before her third and final run at Ariake Skate Park but produced a cool, calm and collected performance to drag herself onto the podium.
She claimed Britain’s first medal in skateboarding and at 13 years and 23 days became the youngest British Olympic medal winner. Brown became Britain’s youngest summer Olympian eclipsing Margery Hinton’s longstanding record of 13 years and 43 days when she competed in swimming in the 1928 Games.
