The 11-year-old taking on the world's best skateboarders

The Skateboarding World Championships takes place in Sao Paulo this weekend, and with the sport included in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, it's also an Olympic Qualification event for the first time.

Up against much more experienced and decorated athletes will be Sky Brown. The Briton is ranked 9th in the world. But what makes her stand out is that she only turned 11 two months ago.

Newsday's Andy Barwell has been catching up with her.
