There are just two years left before one of the world's biggest sporting events takes place in France.

The next Olympics will be held in Paris in 2024, and the skateboard park team who'll be representing team GB has officially been announced!

The process for selecting the team members was taken on by the Skateboard GB selection panel.

They looked at a number of different factors including trick difficulty level, range of tricks, competition results and performances to decide which British skateboarders would make up the final team.

Each skateboarder's ability to qualify and win a medal at Paris 2024, and their potential to be successful at future competitions such as the LA 2028 and Brisbane 2032 Olympics were also taken into consideration.

So, which athletes made the cut?

Olympic bronze medallist Sky Brown, 14, will be representing team GB once again!

The skateboarder impressed at Tokyo 2020 in the women's park skateboarding final, becoming Britain's youngest ever Olympic medallist!

Sky Brown isn't the only youngster to make it onto the Olympic skateboarding team. Sixteen-year-old Bombette Martin will also be representing team GB, as well as 14-year-old Skateboard GB National Champion Lola Tambling, and George O'Neill, 13.

And, at just 12-years-old, Tommy Calvert is the youngest member on the team.

Team GB also includes 49-year-old skateboarding legend Andy Macdonald.

Tommy and Andy's inclusion in the line-up means they represent both the youngest and oldest athletes in any international skateboard park team.

"We're so stoked on the 2022 Skateboard GB park team," said Darren Pearcy who is the performance manager at Skateboard GB.
