Sky Brown, 13, becomes Britain’s youngest Olympic medallist with skateboard bronze
The Guardian says at half-past-ten on Wednesday morning, Sky Brown, 13 years and 28 days old, tipped forward on her board and dropped into the scalded concrete bowl of the Olympic skate park.
As she did it, the stadium DJ started to play the Stone Roses’ She Bangs the Drums, released 19 years before she was even born, so as she carved down across and up that first curve the driving bass line thumped around the empty grandstands. “Kiss me where the sun don’t shine, the past was yours but the future’s mine,” sang Ian Brown as she shot off the lip, far and high across the sky, then landed, and raced away down and on to the next slope.
