Brown defies shoulder injury pain to bag skateboard park bronze in Paris
Sky Brown of Great Britain competes during the women's skateboarding park preliminaries at the 2024 Summer Olympics, August 6, 2024, in Paris, France

SKY BROWN defied a shoulder injury to claim a bronze medal for Team GB at the women’s skateboard park competition at La Concorde.

Brown matched her bronze medal in Tokyo with a score of 92.31 in her second of three runs to cap a remarkable comeback, having dislocated her shoulder last month.

The 16-year-old had also been close to tears after appearing to aggravate the injury during the qualifying competition, in which she placed fourth with a score of 84.75 but fell heavily during the last of her three runs.
