Olympic weightlifter Emily Campbell partners with Team GB, ParalympicsGB, and Allwyn to launch the ChangeMakers programme, aiming to inspire athletes to engage in community and social impact projects post-Paris Games. Meanwhile, skateboarding sensation Sky Brown sets her sights on dual gold medals and empowers young fans with her upcoming book.
Olympic weightlifting silver medalist, Emily Campbell, has initiated an impactful programme alongside Team GB, ParalympicsGB, and the new National Lottery operator, Allwyn, named ChangeMakers, aiming to foster community engagement among athletes post the Paris Games. This initiative aspires to leverage the influence of the Olympic Games to encourage athletes to contribute to social impact projects, including grassroots sports, mental health, and environmental issues. Campbell, celebrated for being the first British woman to secure an Olympic medal in weightlifting and her gold medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, seeks to inspire young people, particularly girls, to have positive dialogues around body image. Alongside her endeavors on the field, she is committed to using her platform to promote meaningful societal change.
In another stride for British athletes, 15-year-old skateboarding prodigy, Sky Brown, continues to astonish both the public and the sporting community with her extraordinary talent and poise. Following her historic win of a bronze medal at just 13 years old in the Tokyo Olympics, Brown displayed her remarkable skills on a floating half-pipe in London, demonstrating no sign of succumbing to pressure despite her young age. With an ambition that stretches beyond skateboarding to include surfing, Brown aims to compete for two gold medals in future games. Aside from her sporting pursuits, Brown is also engaging with her growing audience, boasting over 1 million Instagram followers, and is set to release a book titled “The Life-Changing Magic of Skateboarding.” Her dedication and resilience remain evident as she prepares for the upcoming Paris Olympics, signaling promising prospects for her sporting career in skateboarding and surfing.
