At a training session in California, she flew off the ramp and fell handlessly - from several feet - and landed on her head. Brown was flown to the hospital and was unconscious when she arrived.

- When she came to the hospital, everyone was frightened for her life, says her father Stewart Brown according to the BBC.

She suffered multiple skull fractures and broke both the left wrist and hand.

- Sky is positive and strong, the staff at the hospital are shocked by her willpower, he continues.

Sky Brown aims to become Britain's youngest Olympic participant of all time when the games are decided in Tokyo. And in a post on Instagram, she writes:

“I'm going to push the boundaries of girls with my skateboarding and surfing. I'm aiming for gold in 2021 and nothing will stop me. "
