At just four years old, Brighton started skating. By age eight, she began competing. At age 12, Brighton won the Vans Park Series World Championships, and on the day after she turned 13, Brighton won gold at X Games in Women’s Skateboard Park becoming the youngest athlete ever to win gold in the 21-year history of the action sports event. Brighton attends Fusion Academy and resides in San Diego, CA, with her parents Brandon and Bridget and her brother Jack.

7 Would-Be 2020 Olympians On What They’re Doing Now

Every four years, we get to watch the magic that is the Olympic Games, where the most talented athletes in the world gather to compete in their sport and represent their country. This June would have been the 29th summer Olympic Games. That is, until coronavirus began sweeping the world in December of last year. As early as February, rumors began to circulate that the 2020 Olympic Games would be suspended due to COVID-19. Then it was made official: The event would be delayed to 2021.

15-Year-Old Phenom Brighton Zeuner on the Bright Future of Women's Skateboarding

At just 15, Brighton Zeuner might just be the new face of women's skateboarding. She started competing at the X Games at age 11. She won her first gold medal there the day after her 13th birthday, becoming the youngest champion in history. She defended her title the following year. With skateboarding poised to make its Olympic debut, Brighton is fighting for a spot at Tokyo 2020.

Meet the 15-year-old X-Games gold medalist who could become one of the first Olympic skateboarders

Brighton Zeuner has a Vans sneaker on one foot and a cast, supporting a sprain, on the other. Her look is a clear indication of the two things she loves most: fashion and skateboarding. At just 15 years old, she is excelling at both. At age 12, the competitive skateboarder won the Vans Park Series World Championship, and at age 13, she became the youngest athlete in X-Games’ 21-year history to take home gold. Today, she ranks as the third best female skater in the world on The Boardr Global Rankings Report, and she is one of 16 skaters to make it onto the first-ever USA skateboarding team — a coveted spot that places her as a top qualifier for next summer’s 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.
