3. Sky Brown

Sky Brown is a teenage skateboarding sensation from Great Britain and perhaps the most charismatic prodigy on the board this side of the Mississippi. At 16, Brown is a global prodigy of the sport, famous for tricks and a beaming smile. Her mixed Japanese and British parentage account for a strange look, which, when one reasons a cool free spirit, makes her one of the most celebrated sports women at the Olympics in Paris. Brown’s beauty lies in being real, confident, and, for sure, skillful.
