Meet Olympian Skateboarding Champion Sky Brown
She is the 15-year-old Olympian giving skateboarding its breakthrough into mainstream sports and inspiring a new generation of young athletes.
Astonishingly though, teenager is already worth £3.5 million after signing a deal to be the youngest ever face of luxury watch brand, Tag Heuer.
And as she builds her own brand up, she is even bringing out a children’s book, which she hopes will teach kids to face their fears and learn skateboarding.
Next month she will even launch her first book, The Life-Changing Magic of which is a part biography and part guide to the sport.
Sky said “I’ve always wanted to inpsire and spread my message. I wrote a song. And I thought a book could be another good way and I’m really excited it’s out soon.”
