At 17 years old, skateboarder Brighton Zeuner is one of the youngest participants at Tokyo 2020. She talks about how she deals with nerves when competing, and offers advice to those new to the sport on how to overcome the challenges of both the physical demands and social pressures. Remembering how her granny, who has since passed away, wanted to come and watch her in the Olympics, she says, "my biggest drive is doing it for her".
