"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger," a beaming Brown told Reuters in an interview from her home in Oceanside, California. "I love surfing as much as I love skating," said Brown, who won bronze at the 2019 World Skateboarding Championship in the sport's park discipline. COPING WITH DELAYLike every Olympic athlete, Brown, who was born to a Japanese mother and a British father, was forced to cope with the disappointment of the one-year delay of the Tokyo Games. Through her fall and recovery, Brown has remained upbeat and focused on inspiring others, especially aspiring female athletes. The Tokyo Games begin on July 23.
