TOKYO - Japan cemented its place atop the skateboarding world Wednesday when Sakura Yosozumi won the women's park Olympic title to claim the nation's third gold in three events at the Tokyo Games.

Yosozumi led a Japanese podium sweep of sorts at a sweltering Ariake Urban Sports Park, her 60.09-point first run bettering 12-year-old Kokona Hiraki's 59.04. Half-Japanese Briton Sky Brown, just 13 herself, took bronze with a 56.47 final run in the homeland of her mother.
