    Meet the 51-year-old skateboarder joining teenagers Sky Brown and Lola Tambling on the Team GB skateboarding squad at the Paris 2024 Olympics .

    Andy MacDonald, who won eight X Games gold medals including a doubles title with Tony Hawk in the 1990s, came out of retirement after watching the sport's Olympic debut in Tokyo.

    He is American-born and qualifies for Team GB as a result of his Luton-born father Roderick.

    "When I see my teenager teammates trying a new trick, chances are I know where that trick came from... or I invented the trick myself," MacDonald said.
