Sky Brown takes silver for GB Olympic Qualifier

Skateboard GB rider Sky Brown has claimed a brilliant silver medal at the World Skate Games in Paraguay this weekend, delivering another world‑class performance on one of the biggest stages in international park skateboarding.

Brown posted an exceptional best score of 89.50 in the final. She was narrowly edged out by Japan’s Mizuho Hasegawa, who secured gold with a final surge.

The Women’s Park competition at the World Skate Games brought together the strongest field of the season, forming a crucial part of the qualification pathway toward the LA 2028 Olympic Games, where skateboarding will appear for the third time.

Brown’s podium finish reinforces her status as one of skateboarding’s defining figures. She has already made history for Great Britain, earning Olympic bronze medals at Tokyo 2020 as the youngest ever Olympian at a summer games and a bronze in Paris 2024, and continues to set new benchmarks as the qualification season builds momentum.

Sky was joined at the event by several Skateboard GB teammates, including Lola Tambling and Lilly Strachan, with Tay Cunningham and Tommy Calvert progressing to the quarter‑finals. Each delivered moments of high‑quality skating, showcasing the depth and progression within the British park programme.

Sky’s younger brother, Ocean Brown, also competed for GB, marking his first ever World Skate Games appearance. He impressed in the heats with some good runs, narrowly missing out on advancing to the next round.
