Japanese 14-year-old Coco Yoshizawa has wowed herself and fans as she wins gold in the street Skateboard after a dramatic final.
The teenager has had a rapid rise through the rankings in the past year and her final score of 272.75 secured victory on her Olympic debut.
Yoshizawa raised her arms into the air as she nailed her final trick to the delight of a packed crowd inside Place de la Concorde.
Yoshizawa has now knocked Liz Akama off the top spot, with the 15-year-old finishing second while Brazil’s Rayssa Leal, a silver medalist in Tokyo three years ago, took bronze.
Great Britain did not qualify for the street event but Sky Brown and Lola Tambling will compete in the women’s park event on 6 August before Andy MacDonald goes in the men’s event on 7 August.
