Sky Brown wins second skateboarding world title at rain-hit event in Brazil

Organisers ended the competition after two runs due to rain, declaring Sky Brown the winner with 88.16 points, ahead of Japan's Mizuho Hasegawa and USA's Minna Stess.

  • Sky Brown, the British skateboarder, was declared world champion in Brazil after organisers halted the rain-hit final, celebrating with her father, Stewart Brown.
  • Organisers halted the final after worsening rain as adverse weather delayed and then stopped the competition in Sao Paolo on Sunday, with finalists completing two of four runs before the bowl became unsafe.
  • Scores show Brown ahead by nearly four points with 84.36, while Hasegawa and Stess follow, according to officials.
  • Responding to the curtailed final, Brown told World Skate 'I had to put a lot down to get here, but I am definitely bummed that we couldn't fully do a final,' and emphasized 'But to win, to be a world champ on International Women's Day means a lot.'
  • Her career shows early promise and resilience, including a Tokyo 2020 bronze at age 13 and a Paris 2024 park bronze after injury.
