Who are Sky Brown’s parents? All you need to know about Team GB’s youngest ever Olympic medallist’s mum and dad

SKY BROWN became Great Britain’s youngest ever Olympic medallist after picking up bronze in skateboarding aged 13 at the Tokyo Games.

Now 16, Sky is back in action in Paris aiming to go for the top prize.

After sealing bronze in Tokyo, Sky took the time after her performance to thank friends and family, most notably her parents, who were at first hesitant to see their daughter compete.

But they won’t be regretting their decision after her bronze medal-winning showing.

Who are Sky Brown’s parents?

Sky got her love of skateboarding from her father Stuart, who has also plied his trade as a professional skateboarder.

Stuart is from the UK and is one of the biggest influences on his daughter’s career.

“I remember her, as a baby, on her tummy all the time on a skateboard. It sounds like a cliche but it was her favourite toy,” he told The Guardian.

Stuart never skated at the Olympics like Sky, but has ensured his own legacy will continue with her.

Stuart posted a video of Sky skating on Facebook when she was just four and the clip went viral, catapulting her career to what it is now.

Sky’s mother is Mieko, who is Japanese, which made the Tokyo Games an even more special moment for Sky, who was born in Japan.

Mieko is said to take a more hands-off approach with Sky’ skateboarding career, but she does manager her daughters’s Instagram profile.

Sky also has a brother called Ocean, who is just nine years old and also skates.

Stuart and Mieko were initially against Sky competing at the Games after she fell off her board in a horrible incident in 2020.

Sky fell head-first off a ramp and fractured her skull, receiving lacerations to her heart and lungs in the process.

“I don’t remember anything about the fall,” Sky said.

“But apparently when I woke up, I didn’t know who I was or who my family was.

“My parents didn’t want me to do the Olympics, but I wanted to. They felt it was too much pressure.”

Mieko now struggles to watch Sky compete out of fear, and will mostly watch her events after they’re done.

“It was really hard for my wife,” husband Stuart said.

“It took a long time before she could see Sky skate again. She doesn’t really watch her anymore. She’ll watch videos afterward but not live.”
