11-year-old skateboarder looking beyond the Tokyo Olympics 2020

The 11-year-old who has a British father and a Japanese mother and was born in Japan is hoping to represent Britain at the 2020 Olympics where skateboarding will feature for the first time.

Brown joined the British skateboarding team in January and has been busily collecting qualification points reaching the Dew Tour semi-finals and finishing fifth at both the International Skateboarding Open in Nanjing and the X Games in Minneapolis.

However, Brown currently ninth in the Olympic World Skateboarding Rankings is hoping to inspire young girls that their age and gender should not be a barrier in any sport if she qualifies for Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

“I want to be someone who inspires girls hopefully if I get there they can see me doing this crazy trick and will think they can do it too.

Believe in yourself and just have fun.”

Brown, who started skating competitively age seven after going viral on Facebook still views the sport mostly as a hobby?
