Sky Brown Claims Second Park Skateboarding World Title After Rain-Halted Final in São Paulo

Officials accepted her second-run 88.16 as the final result under a World Skate weather deadline after persistent rain stopped the competition.

Overview

  • The 17-year-old Briton led the women's park final with 88.16 when the third run was called off, making the standings at suspension official.
  • Japan's Mizuho Hasegawa earned silver with 84.36 and American Minna Stess took bronze with 83.90.
  • World Skate had set a 7pm local restart cutoff, but recurrent rainfall and unsafe conditions ended the session before remaining runs could resume.
  • Brown said she was disappointed the final could not be completed and marked the win on International Women's Day, adding a plea for peace.
  • The result adds to Brown’s rapid rise that includes Olympic park bronze at 13 and a first world title at 14, as Spain’s Egoitz Bijueska retained the men’s crown.
