Brown Lands Skateboard Bronze Medal
Great Britain’s Skye Brown wins second consecutive Olympic bronze medal
British skateboarding star Skye Brown won bronze despite dislocating her shoulder before the Olympics.
Brown completed a stunning comeback after dislocating her shoulder competing at Tokyo’s Concorde Women’s Skatepark, finishing with a time of 92.31 to tie her bronze medal in the third of three rounds.
The 16-year-old appeared to have aggravated her injury during qualifying, finishing fourth with 84.75 points but suffering a serious fall in the final of three rounds.
A tearful Brown vowed to “get over” the pain and her performance in her final race proved enough to return to the Olympic podium.
Brown defies shoulder injury to win medal
A strong performance from Australia’s Arisa Trew moved the Aussies into first place, with Brown in second until the last skater, Cocona Hiraki, eked out the lead. Also beat her at the Tokyo Olympics at 12 years old.
Still, Brown has made a remarkable comeback from a serious knee injury last year and a fractured skull in an accident more than a year before the Tokyo Olympics.

The 19-year-old got off to a strong start by finishing third in Monday’s semi-finals to qualify for the final, and she lingered just outside the podium in fourth place.

Despite a frustrating performance in the individual event, Spondolini-Cilliax already won a medal last week in the 10m synchronized event with partner Lois Toulson.
China’s Quan Hongchan set the standard in the first round to take gold in Tuesday’s individual event, diving flawlessly to finish with 90 points and win the title with an impressive 425.60 points.

Laura Muir will compete in her third Olympics
Tokyo silver medalist Laura Muir easily advanced to the women’s 1500m semi-finals after finishing second in her preliminary heats at the Stade de France.
The Scottish athlete needed to finish in the top six to secure a spot, which she accomplished in 3 minutes 58.91 seconds, seven-hundredths of a second behind Ethiopian preliminary winner Gudaf Tsegay.
“Ultimately, my goal was to make it to the semifinals,” said Muir, who was competing in her third Olympics. “I did that and it felt really smooth.”
“I’m not thinking about the final yet, everything is thinking about the semi-final. It’s easy to get carried away.
“I’ve been here many times before and always made it to the final, but I never take it for granted. All the focus is on making it to the final.”
She will compete in Thursday’s semi-finals alongside Georgia Bell, who was crowned Britain’s 1500m women’s champion in June.
Victoria Ohuruogu needed a first-place finish to avoid a rematch of her own and reached the women’s 400m semi-finals with a season-best time of 50.59 seconds.
