It was announced via The Guardian and the BBC today that 10-year-old Sky Brown will now be skating for Great Britain moving forward towards the Olympics - rather than her country of birth, Japan. Sky's father, Stu Brown, is a UK citizen so Sky holds dual citizenship.

"Lucy Adams, the chair of Skateboard England and Skateboard GB, told the Guardian that they were delighted when Brown’s father approached them to talk about competing for Britain and Sky is set to be named in the squad on Thursday."

The article goes on to say that if Sky qualifies for the 2020 Summer Olympics, she will become Great Britain's youngest summer Olympian.
