Young skaters from Japan and Britain soared to victory in the women's park competition, with hometown heroes Sakura Yosozumi and Kokona Hiraki clinching gold and silver, while Britain's Sky Brown took bronze
In the gripping final, Yosozumi, 19, landed two 540s in her impressive first run, earning the highest score of 60.09 to vault to top place.
With her silver medal, Hiraki became the youngest Japanese medallist ever, domestic media reported, overtaking a record set just days ago by fellow skateboarder Momiji Nishiya, a 13-year-oldBritain's Brown, who stumbled in her first two runs, came back to her usual form in the end, showing off 540 spins and flip indies in her final run."I'm just so happy to be here with my friends and I'm grateful," she said, laughing with the other two medallists at a news conference.
"That was a hard time for my parents ... so coming back is so cool and it made me stronger," she said. At times, the young skaters looked impossibly small against the giant grey and purple ramps and bowls at the Ariake Urban Sports Park that is emblazoned with the five Olympic rings.
