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.
