British skateboarding star Sky Brown secured a bronze medal at the Paris Olympics on Tuesday, despite dislocating her shoulder before the Games.
Brown matched her bronze medal in Tokyo with a score of 92.31 in her third of three runs to cap a remarkable comeback, having dislocated her shoulder last month, at the women's skateboard park competition at La Concorde. The 16-year-old had also been close to tears after appearing to aggravate the injury during the qualifying competition, in which she placed fourth with a score of 84.75 but fell heavily during the last of her three runs.
China's Quan Hongchan finished with gold in Tuesday's individual event after setting the standard in the first round, scoring a perfect dive to finish with 90 points and claimed the top spot with an impressive 425.60. Her teammate Chen Yuxi took silver, with North Korea's Kim Mi-rae finishing with bronze.
