Sky laid down her best competition runs of her career on Tuesday afternoon to give her a high score of 92.31 and putting her firmly into the bronze position.
Sky had previously powered through the prelims earlier in the day finishing 4th overall, which meant that she was the last person to take her run in the finals.

James Hope-Gill, CEO at Skateboard GB, said “We are hugely proud of Sky’s achievement. She has amazed us all and has continued to get better and better throughout the Olympic qualifying season. This is her second Olympics and she has proved that she is one of the best in the world”.
Sky was joined by her fellow team mate Andy Macdonald, who competes in the men’s Skateboard Park event on the 7th August 2024.
The events took place at the Urban Park at Place de la Concorde in Paris.
