She said winning on International Women's Day "definitely means a lot" and added "I just pray for peace."

Brown became Great Britain's first skateboarding world champion at the age of 14 when she won park gold in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates in 2023.

She was Britain's youngest Olympic medal winner of all time, winning park bronze as a 13-year-old at the delayed Tokyo 2020 Games.
