Team GB’s 11-year-old skateboarder Sky Brown is ‘lucky to be alive’ after fracturing her skull in a horror accident in training.

Brown, who is set to become Britain’s youngest summer Olympian in Tokyo, flew off her skateboard at the top of a high ramp and landed head-first on hard ground.
She was airlifted to hospital and was unresponsive on arrival but is now expected to make a full recovery, despite breaking her hand and wrist and injuring her skull.

Brown’s dad, Stewart, said: ‘Sky’s had the gnarliest fall she’s ever had and is lucky to be alive.

‘She landed head-first off a ramp on her hand. When she first came to hospital, everyone was fearful for her life.’Sky remains positive and strong, the whole medical team is shocked to see her positivity.’
