Britain’s youngest Olympic medallist Sky Brown will be heading to the Paris Games this summer.

The 15-year-old skateboarder will be representing Team GB in the sport alongside 50-year-old Andy Macdonald and 16-year-old Lola Tambling.

The three secured their spots at last month's Olympic Qualifier Series in Budapest, but were officially announced by the British Olympic Association on Monday.

Sky won a bronze Olympic medal when she was just 13 at Tokyo 2020. It was also the first time skateboarding was included at the competition.

The world champion will be hoping to improve on her bronze at the upcoming Games.

"It was fantastic to witness skateboarding make its debut in Tokyo, and we were thrilled to see Sky make history as the youngest person ever to win a medal for Team GB at the Summer Games," Team GB chef de mission Mark England said.

Sky was also aiming to represent Britain in surfing at the 2024 Games, but missed out in qualifying.

Andy Macdonald has been skating professionally since 1994 and will be the first British male skateboarder at an Olympic Games after qualifying last month.

16-year-old Lola won the UK National Skateboarding Championship in 2022 and came sixth in last year's World Championship.

The Olympic skateboarding events will take place from 27 July to 7 August in Paris.
