News summary

Fifty-year-old skateboarder Andy Macdonald, the oldest skateboarder heading to the Olympics, will team up with younger mates Sky Brown and Lola Tambling. Macdonald, known for his mastery of the half-pipe vert ramp, qualified for the Olympics after a two-and-a-half-year process, feeling surreal about the achievement. Despite the age gap, Macdonald views his experience in competition as an advantage, while he appreciates the youth and energy of his teammates. His late pursuit of an Olympic spot, alongside his clean-cut image and unique journey to qualification, adds to the story of the British skateboarding trio representing diverse age groups in Paris Olympics.
