Street League Skateboarding, Sydney, Australia:
QAS supported skateboarder, Chloe Covell, has won back-to-back Street League Skateboarding titles in Sydney. The recent XGames Gold Medallist dominated the Women’s Final from the start with electrifying technical runs. The 14-year-old won with 31.8 points in front of a sold-out Ken Rosewall Arena. After the competition Chloe said, “It was amazing to get the victory again here in Sydney. Having the fans behind me is always such a great feeling and I love hearing how loud the arena can get. Sure there’s pressure to perform but I was confident I could land what I needed.”
