Newcastle's Poppy Starr Olsen will make her Olympic debut in Tokyo after being officially named in the Australian skateboarding team.
The announcement was made on Friday.
Skateboarding will be joining the Games program for the first time.
Olsen was ranked fourth in the world when the Olympic qualification period wrapped up recently.
"It feels pretty surreal and amazing to become an Olympian, knowing you've worked so hard for something," Olsen told AOC media.
"There's so many beautiful parts to skateboarding, to be able to showcase it on another level with some of your best friends, skating in an amazing country is an honour and will be such a cool adventure.
"Aussie fans are in for a great show. I'm excited for how fun and outrageous skateboarding is and for that to be shown to the world.
"To have people that aren't skaters supporting us and cheering us on is amazing and hopefully we can inspire some kids to have a crack.
"It means so much to be on this team and to showcase something that I love and that I'm passionate about."
