Team GB skateboarder Sky Brown has been cleared to compete in the Olympics after injuring her shoulder.

Brown, who won a bronze medal at the Tokyo Games three years ago, suffered a dislocation injury a day before she travelled to Paris.

The 16-year-old is due to compete in the women's Park skateboarding on 6 August.

Brown described the injury as "scary" and says her shoulder will need surgery after the Olympics.

After the injury, Sky was checked by Team GB doctors and physios and they have deemed her fit to compete in Paris.

"When I get back I'll have to do surgery, so it [shoulder] doesn't come out again," said Sky.

"They're bringing some braces tomorrow and I will try it out and have to be strapped for every time I skate.

Explaining that injury comes with being an Olympic athlete, Sky said: "There is this side of it too, [you] can’t let some fall or pain stop you from what you want to do. I am strong and I believe in myself and I hope it inspires."

Sky Brown is the youngest ever athlete to represent Team GB.

She was just 13 when she broke the 93-year record while competing at the Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan.

Brown recently recovered from a serious knee injury in May earlier this year.
