Teenage skateboard sensation Sky Brown saddened by plight of Afghan girls, saying 'girls can do anything that boys can do but even better'

Sky Brown became Great Britain's youngest ever Olympic medalist this summer -- now she wants to encourage young girls worldwide to find their own success.

The 13-year-old skateboarder won bronze in the women's park final in Tokyo, but as she basks in those happy memories, Brown is also troubled by numerous stories regarding women in sport that have emerged from Afghanistan since the Taliban takeover.

Both the senior and youth members of the women's football teams have been evacuated, with one Taliban official stating that Afghan women would not be permitted to take parts in sports where they would be "exposed."
