In the world of skateboarding, where adrenaline meets gravity, there’s a new kid on the block, and her name is Fay De Fazio Ebert. At just 13 years old, this Toronto girl proved that age is just a number when she rolled into the Pan American Games and emerged with a heartwarming tale of triumph, complete with a golden finish.

Timing is Everything

In a sport that’s making its Pan Am debut in Santiago, the pressure was on for the other talented women to match De Fazio Ebert’s incredible performance. With a score of 82.71 in the first round, she set the bar high, and then she went on to better her own mark with an astonishing 84.66 in the second round. But guess what, it gets event better! With the gold medal within her reach, Fay De Fazio Ebert decided to attempt a challenging move she’d been working on in warm-up, a kick-flip indie. Her play was high-risk with an ever-higher reward. Though it unfortunately didn’t go as planned it didn’t stop her one bit. She’d already secured her place in history as the first-ever gold medallist in women’s park skateboarding at the Pan Am Games.
