Team GB skateboarder Sky Brown has suffered a dislocated shoulder but still intends to compete in the OIympics next week.

Brown, who won a bronze medal at the Tokyo Games three years ago, suffered the injury on Sunday – the day before she travelled to Paris.

BBC Sport understands it was a full dislocation, and Brown is now against the clock in her bid to compete.

The 16-year-old is being looked after by Team GB doctors and physios in the hope she will be fit when her events start in Paris.

Brown is due to compete for a medal in the women’s park skateboarding, which takes place on Tuesday, 6 August at La Concorde.

The British boarder has had a turbulent build-up to the Games, which included tearing the medial collateral ligament in her right knee in April.

But she still hopes to compete in the event in which she finished third at the previous Olympics, earning GB’s first ever skateboarding medal at the Games.
