Eleven-year-old Sky Brown is smashing the skateboarding world and beating adults a lot older than her.

She’s set her sights on competing in the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, where she’d be Britain’s youngest ever summer Olympian. It’ll be the first time skateboarding will be an official sport at the Olympics.

Sky is working on a new move, the backside 540, which involves spinning around one-and-a-half times towards your toes. World Skate advises skaters under 18 always wear a helmet.

BBC My World is a brand new show for young people around the world, brought to you by executive producers Angelina Jolie and the BBC World Service. We’ve also partnered with Microsoft Education and BBC Learning to show you how the news is made, fact-check stories and spot fake news.
