Eleven-year-old skateboarding phenom Sky Brown is recovering in hospital after a heavy fall during a training session where her father said he initially feared for her life.
Brown was unresponsive on arrival at a hospital in California according to reports but has since posted a message on social media from her hospital bed.
The Japanese-born skater, who is hoping to represent Great Britain at the Tokyo Olympics, shared a video of the crash saying her helmet saved her life.
"I don't usually post my falls or talk about them because I want people to see the fun in what I do, but this was my worst fall and I just want everyone to know that I'm OK," Brown added.
