Street skateboarding phenomenon Chloe Covell begs the question — what were you doing at 14 years of age?
Teenage skateboard sensation Chloe Covell can become Australia's youngest gold medal winner if she wins in Paris .
"At 14, for me, I was worried about what breakfast I had, what exam was at school, the 10km I ride I was going to do for training with my sister.""She has it covered — she does amazing in every event," she said.Covell is also tough — she is "pretty chill" about a couple of fractured fingers she suffered in training ahead of Paris.Covell is also revelling in this most excellent adventure, which entails her having a chaperone because she is so young.
"There are famous people walking around everywhere. But I'm also very excited, I have all my gear, I tried it all on.It is no accident that women's skateboarding features Covell and several other teenagers."Women's skateboarding, in general, is progressing super-fast and all over the world, there are a lot more younger girls getting into , they have such a good frame group , a lot of different people to skate with," O'Neill said.
